Jumped the gun on this a little bit. I was buying the $18.00 break but it had broken out the day before briefly and put in a high of $18.10. I should have waited for confirmation on the break of $18.10 before entry as my first trade in this was a total failure. I cut it at $17.69 but then rebought for the bounce. Had I waited for the bounce before initial entry I would have taken $1.05/share on this. even with 500 shares that could have been a $500 trade. The last buy was mismanaged as I should have held it for the end of day run to $19.40 but I became impatient and sold it flat.
