I had BGMD on my list as a long, and decided to take it short on a quick scalp this morning. It went red on open after a good green move yesterday, I waiting until the ma's got closer to the price action and shorted under the 9 EMA on the 5 minute. I put my stop at 1.38 which was supported by ma's on 30 minute and 5 minute charts.
Basically this trade was a mistake, and I should not have taken it. Long term trend is neutral, and short and medium are both up. So I was fighting the trends here, and by the time my supporting ma's caught up with the action the scalp action was already over before I ever entered.
