Also a pre-market mover. I entered the it broke over the early morning high and the little consolidation zone forming. Again, used conservative risk-adjusted position sizing, learning from yesterday. TWLO moved up so I increased my position in what looked like a flag. When I saw it not going up further I tried to exit my position around $42.20 but I kept getting the TOS Rejection message. Then the flag failed and I got stopped out of my full position. Took the small loss.
Bought 100 shares again as it broke over the 9MA and held, but then it failed & broke back under & I got stopped out. 2 tappers r for losers =P. Happy with my Small risk, small position size though.
Tried again. Was hoping for a flat top breakout here. It did a bit and I took a tiny bit of profit scaling out in halves. Raised my stop and got stopped out the other half.
Don't know why it moved so little and the flags didn't breakout a lot. Felt like I was chasing and panicked on the 1 min chart. Think I prefer the 5 min or have to adjust something else to be more comfortable with the 1 min movement & frequent fluctuations.
Is this me trying to be a breakout trader? I guess. Maybe I should try pullbacks. I used alerts to monitor when TWLO was getting close to the breakout point while I was watching DWTI. I liked using the alerts although I guess I'l be able to set them better in the future so that I can actually take advantage of the breakout, not just see it happen.
