This is one of my infamous scalps right before I have to leave for work. I only do these if I can use a very tight stop.

My Thesis was correct. Resistance was at $12.70. I got in, in anticipation of the breakout over that $12.70 mark, and I did so early, before confirmation....at $12.68 so I could have a very tight stop considering the time I had left.

I set a range order on this with a tight stop. My stop was .03 cents away at $12.65 and my sell order was looking for just a .12 cents move is all, to $12.80. (BC I literally had 8 minutes before I had to leave my house when I entered this one.)

This played out just like I expected but it took too long, I had to leave for work (I have to leave by 11:30 est, I exited this at 11:41 so I was already 11 minutes late and counting.....so yeah....I just closed it for a scratch...then exactly 21 minutes later it hit my target. Oh well I knew when I got in it might not pan out in the time frame so the important thing was that I had a very tight stop before taking the risk.
