I saw that this stock was gapping up with no major resistance overhead, so I waited for an ORB pattern. On my first entry, the stock did not have the pop like I thought it was going to. I was too early with a stop under VWAP. I stopped out for a very small loss and waited for a better entry if the stock allowed it.
On the second entry, I nailed it.I scaled in when this looked like it was breaking the trend line and HOD and this spiked hard and fast, exactly what I look for in stocks. My first scale out might of been a little early, but it was surprising on how fast this moved. My target was around $22.00 and this broke past that pretty easily all in one 1 min candle. With this trade, I made up the loss and some.
