Day Chart: Earnings day, taking momentum as an opportunity for long position with proper setup.
Buy: missed the ORB around $4.10, hesitated. Waited for pullback with setup to form so I took the flag that dipped under 9ema but held the 20ema and VWAP at $4.30. Stop below those levels.
Sell: stopped out on continued weakness after the spike that engulfed all of yesterday's price action failed to show commitment.
Lesson: the real move was on the ORB. the stochastics were showing negative momentum the whole way through support. Perhaps a more aggressive entry around the 20ema and VWAP as 3 5min bars touched there before the final flush. Less risk if so.
