**What was the result of the trade, what happened? This was a profitable trade. The market was gapping up at the time of entry. I took an ORBU trade at 262.18 with 75 shares when the price action broke the premarket high and ORH. The volume was average. The price action did not break the LRC and was in between the Bollinger Bands. I set the loss of the 9EMA with confirmation as my technical stop and a 2.00 hard stop based on the ATR of the 5-minute candle prior to entry. I had a Bolinger Bands level at 270.00 and a daily pivot at 272.38. I set my profit targets at 263.50 and 246.00. The price action was moving upwards, and I took a 2/3 partial near my profit target at 263.43 then set my stop to breakeven. The price action hot my breakeven level stopping me out.
