Went against the trend on this.
Daily has been in a dwontrend for a while, although Friday was a gap up and green. Today opened lower but was up on the day.
The price was almost at high of day and formed a bull flag and I went long near the bottom of that range.
Got stopped out later as price worked its way down through the 20ma and 50ma.
I really must stop trying to counter trend trade.

Try to look at the range before an entry. 30 cents was the most you could do that day.7.90 to 8.20 back to 7.90. You went the wrong way sure, but the main thing is that it was not worth your time long nor short. Best case scenario was 30 cents upwars to close the gap at the 8.50 magnet. If the range is 30 cents max in a given day you might trade it for 15-20 cents profits because you won't hit exact bottom or top.
