CSC wasn't on my watch list however I have been doing a lot of research on trades that create a wedge pattern above VWAP. This checked every box of the specific variables I had been looking at so I watch it for an entry point. Strong daily chart, 3+% opening drive / gap, good RVOL, holding above VWAP, tight wedge consolidation, and the tape changing. The market was also very strong today. I entered 69.06 and my target was a resistance area from the morning of 69.75. I missed a couple of areas to get bigger and hold for more of the move. I should have been bigger when the tape change at 69.09 stop below VWAP 68.99 so risking 10 cents. I should have been bigger when it held 69.50 an area it sold off hard from twice today. Once that area held the play was HOD minimum for 69.95. Really could have made a lot more out of this trade.
