1.3R
3rd out of 3 trades in LQ today.
ENTRY:
Stop was above the recent small spike (not HOD).
2R target was $14.91.
Real target was around $14.86 where I saw a more significant level of price support. The price actually went that far and even lower to $14.80 (3R target). I should've trusted my judgement.
EXIT: the price started to stall around $15 and I had expected that because there was some support. I became impatient and covered everything.

Thanks! I stop trading at 11:30 am and come back at 1 pm. I'm not sure when lunch time ends exactly, hehe, but at 1 pm the day-long consolidations start breaking out, it seems. Sometimes it takes until 2 pm though.

i was told to avoid lunch time trades but yours is a good entry. now you learned to let things play out a bit, cover a few and see if it can go lower.
