On the 9th of August FCEL gained momentum after widespread expectations of government funding in de hydrogen fuel cell sector. On this news the stock went up from approx. $6.31 to $7.19. On the 10th the momentum was there shortly at the opening before fading to $7.31 and closing this day at $7.50.

This is where I saw my opportunity. I noticed the news had fueled out and the after-hours price action remained far below the close of previous day. I was looking to short the stock after confirmation of a downwards break of a consolidation period. I was slow and got an entry to $6.955. As I saw a clean fade I put my risk very tight at $7.01. Unfortuntaly the stop got hit shortly after while the price eventually faded away to $6.88 at the close.

I was right in my thesis, but my execution was just terrible. My initial confirmation was the clean crash at the open, where I could have taken a position already at $7.5. and in the first consolidation period where the range was $7.08-$7.15 I could have taken on more depending on my aggressiveness.

After this the stock would basically keep on dropping without a lot of risk.
