Day Chart: Earnings pop

20 (rising)

Buy #2: remounting the 9 and 20 potentially for 2nd crack at newly printed high

20 (rising)

Sell: broker actually reported delayed NO fill after I submitted order to sell below highest bid on selloff. I then had to call broker to fix account before selling all shares. I missed the exit target of 2nd run to new highs, came back to a 0.25 flush candle and then ended up waiting for another run, eventually just sold where the MAs couldn't hold at EOD. Excellent entries, terrible exit executions.
Lesson: True exit should have been fail to break high 2nd time if I were able to actually sell. What I'm noticing is the inability to take the most efficient exit. Perhaps I still have lingering thoughts of trying for pnl vs just playing the charts. Work on being satisfied with selling where I think most ppl would (although 3rd time at day highs I thought there would be further upside to be honest). I guess in this case, the daily candle shows how much this already moved.
