Original Plan
Played from yesterday’s mid-day level of 47.50 as price was trending down towards it.

Execution Notes
I left an order at 47.45 (slightly below the 47.5 level) and it got filled at 2:06pm. I held it, with a stop 20 cents lower at 47.25 (2R); I gave it some time to try and be an afternoon runner like the 1rst and 2nd day but it ended up not moving a lot and fading into the close so I sold my first lot into resistance at 47.59 and the second at 47.44 for a scratch trade.
