Was stalking to short as 30 min B/D of trendline support. Missed the intitial short but kept on it. Shorted the bounce to resistance and vwap. Terrible entry as buying volume came in and tried to take off my limit short but was filled. Still had stop -.75 for target +1.50 and +3. I'll be keeping an eye on this one but intraday was a terrible trade.
WEEKEND REVIEW LESSONS:
1 - Daily in uptrend, don't trade counter trend.

Ill take the screen shot when i get home, the daily has a rising trendline that is weakening (more taps), The weekly is horrendously extended and the amount of institutional distribution on that gap up was awesome. Intraday i screwed up. I'm trying to catch the bigger picture move but keep zooming to far in. I'm still working on trading different timeframes but obviously am struggling. A close over 340 would have me revisit my thesis.
I see what you were going for. It tanked in the am, bounced up into 9ema and you were trying for the bearflag but had late entry? Nice try, but the daily is in consolidation so its going to be whipsaw. If you see it going up or down on daily, short away but leave consolidation alone on daily.
this stock is a tweener.. its not a ruberbband short as its been in slow steady up trend.. and there is no breakdown setup..
also in this market.. typeical breakdonws or bear flag setups in regular stocks have been buiyng opportunities in these momo stocks.
What's a tweener?
Yes, good uptrend and daily looks bullish. I had the wrong mindset.
