*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 a break of VWAP trade at 166.47 with 75 shares when the price action reversed. I set taking out the VWAP with confirmation as my technical stop and a .50 hard stop based on the ATR of the 5-minute candle prior to entry. The LRC was at 166.49 and the Bollinger Bands was at -166.99. I had a daily pivot at 167.81. I set profit targets at AC +.25 Sell .50. The price action reversed and lost VWAP with confirmation, but I stayed in the trade. On Bookmap I had a large area of liquidity at 167.00. I took my 1st partial at 166.72 and then I was stopped out at breakeven.
