Three trades, a long, a short and a long. Lost on the first two, profit on the third.
First trade:
Setup on daily: PR Breakout
Setup intraday: Pullback to 9EMA
Reasons to enter: price was close to 9EMA, looked like starting to bounce.
Concerns: S&P500 and NASDAQ were dropping today.
Stop: $3.10 - below 9EMA.
First target: $3.36 - close to HOD.
R/R < 2:1 - not good.
I guess I was too early. Price dropped below 9EMA and VWAP for a bit.
Second trade:
I took a short position thinking it will drop, but it bounced.
Third trade:
Setup on daily: PR Breakout
Setup intraday: Flag/9EMA Bounce
Reasons to enter: price broke above moving averages again.
Concerns: S&P500 and NASDAQ were dropping today. Ressitance above.
Stop: $3.06
First target: $3.36 - close to HOD.
R/R 2:1 - good!
I sold before the price reached the target. Not good. I should've sold the other portion into the spike, but I got greedy.
