I had this stock on watch for a rubber band snapback. This went red early and then tapped the open price several times unable to break through. When it bounced and looked like it was going through 9 EMA I shorted with a stop at 30.10. This took a long time to develop. When I got the first real drop and it paused I covered half. I then trailed my stop down until it bounced and I stopped out. This ended up working out ok, and I think my entry price was good in hindsight. However I think I could have waited quite a while and let this consolidate more before I entered.
