*What was the result of the trade, what happened? This was a profitable trade. The market was consolidating at the time of entry. I took a reversal trade at 62.65 with 100 shares when the price action reversed after 4 green candles with strong volume. I set taking out the HOPC with confirmation as my technical stop and a 1.00 hard stop based on the ATR of the 5-minute candle prior to entry. The LRC was at 61.57 and the Bollinger Bands was at 62.10. I had a daily pivot at 61.78. I set profit targets at .50 and 1.00 above Avgcost. The price action pulled back but reversed and continue its downward trend. I took a 1/2 partial at 62.15 and set my stop to breakeven. The price action reversed and eventually hit my stop.
