I didn't even remember entering this trade, I just looked up and there it was. Prodigio was giving me problems earlier. But since it was green when I checked I just left my position open and set my stop in a place to lock in profits at least.
I entered this on the first pullback and I stayed in it as it slowly ran up. I closed my position because I saw that the average range was only $.50 or so, plus it had six consecutive up days, even though they were small. So I made the decision to take my profits.
Due for a pullback on the daily so I waited for an entry. It essentially went from green to red so I entered a short play at the bottom of the second candle. Could'a, should'a, would'a held on a little longer but I was happy with the play and closed my position.
