AAPL
Day two of earnings, wanted to play it long targeting $180. Stock ended up failing to break $178. Trade turned out to be a minor loss.
Initially saw a minor descending triangle at market open and wanted to play it short, got stopped out soon after. Switched gears and tried to go long.
Chased 100 shares at 10:22, price at $176.55. Saw opportunity to add 100 at $176.02, stop was at $175.57 (may have needed more room, direction was right).
Bought the breakout after the fed decision- 100 shares at $177.10, and another at $177.08.
Tried to hold as long as possible, but saw that RSI was weakening towards the upside; combined with extreme market volatility, I thought it was best to manually close my position at $177.62.
