I was looking for PYPL Long this morning hoping for a huge gap fill. PYPL got some negative news this morning. PYPL moved straight down for a couple of hours. I realized that PYPL may be quickly moving from gapfill mode to continuing its previous down trend. I took a short at a 2 minute pivot point. The 5 minute bears were playing defense. I took my second entry as the price moved into resistance.
I unloaded quickly, because the price was falling so slowly this made me think that I could get caught in a quick move up.
Pros:
1. Great job being mentally flexible.
2. Getting into stocks that have a reason to move nice job!
3. Sold half for profits to protect capital.
Grows:
1. You had already sold 3 of your contracts for a small profit and the 4th was at 20% profit. You knew what defense the MM Bears were playing, you could have ran this trade a lot furhter.
