FIRST REAL DAY ON SIM.
SIM DAY 1. admittedly I did open up some trades on Monday but that was more so because I was trying to figure out the program, how to set up the stop loss etc.
This stock was already in Play on the daily but while zooming in it seemed like it had a pretty clear trend after the initial DIVE in the morning. Took this trade with the light pullback towards the 9EMA. ended up being stopped out kind of wish I put more of loose stop because I wasn't uncomfortable when the stock dipped... rentered and had to sell early because I had to leave the house for a little bit.
XPO was still trending nicely against the 9EMA, had a small flag also, which made me feel comfortable taking the trade. Market has seemed pretty choppy lately so I wasn't expecting a huge run, and the stock was already up quite a bit from its morning crash, so I wanted to be safe and sold half near its prior highs. Then sold the rest after its trend break.
