I was early to IBM, all the time frames didnt align. The daily and hourly looked explosive, but my entry and how I trade it very short term. I bought after too fast of a move, into resistance. I should have at least made the stock digest that, then enter. It did follow through later in the day without me. Patience would have paid here but the stock may be in play tomorrow.

Notice the 30min chart and where you bought at. That 30min needed to pullback and rest to work off the oversold condition. Same with the 15min chart as well. Have to align your trades on all time frames. Daily, 30min, 15min, and 5min chart. If the setup is there on all time frames then you will have a much greater chance of making money.
