  • Details:
    Bounce play/EOD runner, 500 shares. I noticed that DHI had bounced off $15.20 which was a previous resistance spot on the daily. It had also tapped the $15.30 level on the intraday (5 min) chart which was an indication that it was trying to break through for an end of day run. I bought in anticipation of the break of $15.30 (at $15.28) and set a stop at the support on the daily ($15.20). I was a little concerned that there was one rogue candle on the daily with a high of $15.38 but I didn't think it was enough to hold the stock back from hitting at least $15.50 and probably $15.60 (the high of the day) as it was smooth sailing to both on the daily. I sold at 3:56pm right before the market closed for a 17 cent profit.
