*What was the result of the trade, what happened? This was a profitable trade. The market was gapping up at the time of entry and $JPM reported earnings and revenues beat. I took a ORBU trade at 137.75 with 75 shares when the price action took out the ORH and premarket high with momentum and above average volume. I set taking out the ORH with confirmation as my technical stop and a 136.75 hard stop based on the ATR of the 5-minute candle prior to entry. The LRC was at 137.64 and the Bollinger Bands was at 136.17. I had a daily pivot at 139.57. I set profit targets at 1.25 and 1.50 above Avgcost. Bookmap showed an high area of market liquidity at 139.00. The price action gapped up and I took a 2/3 partial at 138.75 then set my stop to breakeven. After the price action created a new HOD and reversed I was stopped out at breakeven.
*FEELINGS- Describe what you thought and felt during the trade? Rested and ready for the trading session. Felt satisfied with my trade execution.
*EVALUATION- What was good or bad about the trade (what worked according to plan in the trade)? Good: The price action broke the ORH and premarket high with momentum and above average volume. Bad: The price action reversed and stopped me out at breakeven.
