This is a pretty decent trade that I cannot take credit for. I shorted this stock at 11.72 as it seemed to be going for an opening range breakout (ORB) but I didn't let it form a base long enough. I only shorted 100 shares, but I thought I shorted 333. When I placed my stop-loss at 12.02 I entered in 333 shares. So when my stop-loss triggered I covered my initial 100 shares for a loss and bought 233 shares for a long. I did not realize this until I looked at my open positions and seen I had shares in PIR. I quickly went back to the chart and sold my shares for a nice gain. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for this as it was pure luck that it worked out in my favour.
