This one felt like my best trade today. Tried to buy the breakout of $16.20. I thought I had a decent entry and exit as I sold when it hit its first sign of resistance. Good profit for me on this trade.

Any tips on spotting a better entry?? Thanks!

Why not buy it at 15.88/90?

I'm working on doing a better job of spotting those entry levels. I thought that $16.20 was a good spot b/c it was the top of part of the last large green candle from earlier. I guess my fear is that it will stay coiled in the lower part the rest of the day and I don't want to get stuck in a position that just goes sideways all day long. So I end up getting in late as I wait for confirmation that its moving. Very good feedback though! Thanks again Nape!!!
