Gap up out of flattop area in uptrend, triangled out in the morning mostly above vwap. Got in inside apex at 45.30 with stop below previous low at 44.68. smaller size since I keep getting killed and doing this in ToS.

target 47-48ish or watch how it acts.

Once I had a bit of profit (>2R) I moved the stop up to b/e. Acted strong and coming out of lunch as it approached my target, so I removed the sell order and watched it. Bounced around 48 a little while but no strong size on the ask there, watched it clear and waited on hod. Again, no big size and it cut through.

As it held break area, I moved the stop below the 10m previous to the break. If it can run, will move stop to original target.

Trailed stop up to 47.98 original target as it approached 49. This is also below the morning high/bo level so that should hold for a good afternoon breakout run. Added new target order at 49.87 below 50 area.

Tightened again to 48.88 stop after it cleared 49.50 - on it's 8th consecutive green 5m candle. Shortly after that it hit the stop and executed at 48.9231. Would have hit the target on the next candle, but still up so much glad I took profit.
