I was playing a reversal to the mean play, as following my backtest this is the most likely scenario after a +3% gap. I waited patiently for the signal. It came when the stock broke the 5 min downtrend and made the higher low. I entered with a stop just below the LOD.
T1: 36.19 (previous pivot)
T2: 36.59 (VWAP)
T3: Reason2Sell
I took profits on the second lot when I saw that it pushed higher but market was failing hard. I raised the stop to the remaining lot just below the higher low as market was very weak.
