Was looking for an opening drive play but there just wasn't any juice to the downside so I got stopped using the high of the previous 1min candle which was a good out because the stock went on to rally. Still good for 14cents. Missed out on a pretty obvious trade when it stopped at the 12.20 area which was pre mkt support and I should have leaned into a short there when it was showing weakness. Just never pulled the trigger but my thought was correct.

Your thought was dead on bro. I hit it right at $12.20 short but like a wuss I covered it for 13 cents! I hate starting out the morning with a loss and just wanted a quick gain to start my day but damn it coulda been a $300+ trade if I hadn't been such a baby! Good job on yours anyway, those opening drive plays are a gamble at best but you seem to be pretty good at nailing them!
