Day Chart: earnings gap up
Buy: Gap up, run, pullback, potential bounce. Bought $0.30 away from rising 9ema, which I should have aimed for closer. Stop was day low.
Order:
VWAP ***(price broke it)
price
9 (flat)
20 (rising)
stochastics - negative and cracking 80 line. bounce would curl this back up though.
Sell: stop a few cents above day low, which is where it might have G2R run anyhow.
Lessons: it was aggressive but the real move came later. I stalked it all day but had funds tied up in other trades. I saw where the 20 rose up and caught up to the 9 around 12:50pm. stock dipped under 20 and held, I pointed out that it was the best entry of the day @ $52.25. stock eventually tested VWAP for 3rd tap (even more support for bullish case), bounced back to rising MAs which were also above entry price. Highest spot of the run was $53.51 and realistic stop out would be $53.31. That's a $1.06 missed opportunity which would also have turned my day's results around.
