No setup on the daily but it was one of the BOWS watchlist stocks that was on the stockmarketwatch.com gapper list so I figured it would move intraday.
Entered when JDST broke over all its MA's and the recent high. Risk-adjusted sizing in place.
I scaled out wayyyy too heavy 4/5s of my position because it was getting close to the morning highs and I wanted to get some profit. This really was too much to get out, but i keep 100 shares as lotto and called out well with those. happy with this trade. Taught me about position sizing. I think this was a over-reaction to a time before when I scaled out too little on my first scale out and barely locked in any profit when the trade reversed.
Will balance better as I progress =).
