It was the peak of a flag, with low risk. I was watching it in the morning and should have bought at the taps of 8, but was busy watching another trade and missed the good entry. Still it was good risk/reward so no regrets and respected my stop.

Notice Price action and the volume pattern; big change from the open. Ideally you want it to base and start to round up creating higher lowers to determine an entry.

Usually have a big rip like this (7.60 to 9.00 or over 18%) these will need at least a couple hours to consolidate. When I see this I almost always wait til late afternoon for the play.
