Successful swing trade +$435.01...OCLR had been flagging for a couple of days prior and gapped up on the open on 9/12...I entered on the first pullback with a larger than normal position size due to my tight stop, which was never violated throughout the day. I decided to hold overnight as volume picked up in the last two to three hours of trading. The next morning OCLR gapped up again and I promptly scaled out 1/2 position. I didn't want to hold too long in the day and sold out another large chunk at the HOD, adjusting my stop to where it had opened. Got stopped out of the last 1,000 shares above my buy price, so it worked out great.
