Stock was approaching its 20 DMA on a slight gap up. Watched for weakness and thought I missed it at like 9:40. But then waited for the remount even though I haven't had luck trading GOOG in the past. Got a really nice, low-risk short entry near the HOD, and scaled out shortly after. The same candle my entry was in went down pretty quick. So I figured it was the perfect time to take some profits and set my stop to my buy price with the 10 share lotto. Got stopped out by only a few cents, but regret nothing because I stuck to my rules.
