Trade Notes
I listened to one of the people I follow and thoughts on shorting this into a pop up to 154. I decided to short this into a level that I had at 153 and got a tough fill on the spread and market order. I did manage to catch some action on the tape as it started toe fail above 154 and got a great add letting me net 80 cents on the full load. I need to tap this at VWAP as would just be expected and easy to hit in this situation most of the time.
