Original Plan
Long on hold above 20.90 is very bullish, could gap fill back up to 22.
Could bounce from 20.65 if market slightly weak this morning
Could bounce from 20.30 if market is very weak this morning

Execution Notes
Got filled at 20.96 for 2 lots as per my plan of getting long if the 20.90 was holding. My 1R stop was set at 20.85. My target to lighten up half was 21.20 and 21.40 to get flat with possible additions on pullbacks. The stock was very grindy above the 20.90 level and the highest it pushed price was 21.10. It broke down after reaching 21.10 and I got stopped out at 20.85 after the next down leg materialized.

Review
I liked my thesis and believe I acted well on it but the market didn’t move much today and I believe that’s why WEN didn’t move as much either.
