This was a great trade.

Entered once it broke over 36.51. Then once it based around 36.60 I used that to add some shares and reduce my stop. I was a little over sized to start so this let me clean it up. I really wanted to wait for 36.61 to trigger but fat fingers on order entry and it triggered 36.60. I moved stop to 36.50. I left my original targets though and got out at 1r for target 1. I was holding that back part for 4r. My rules says if I get to 90% of target then I am going to trail 10%. This prevents it from missing by a few cents then backing up 2r. so it went to .09 (.03 from 4r target) and I trailed by .06 and got out at .02/.03. It did bounce again with the market but I am happy.

Net: +2.9r
