This stock had been on watch all week for a break below $37. Of course on the day it broke it gapped down and busted my setup (lol this always seems to happen!), but I was able to find a spot at $36.50 to enter. I decided afterwards that it was too extended on the 30 min chart (see below how extended it was to the downside when I shorted) and that I wanted to wait for a better setup, perhaps a base at the $36.30 area of the daily chart. So I decided to get out quickly and wait. Covered for a $10 gain.
