BABA tested the intraday support and I thought it might put in a higher low to respect that level.
As I saw buying and a hesitation of lower prices I placed an order at 139.
When BABA looked weak and the offer broke 139 again I took off the trade for a small loss.
I kept watching it!
BABA was really hesitant and I had 138.50 as a more important level on map. BABA spiked lower, tested it but was bought up immediately. On the next retest I gave it another shot with a stop below 138.50.
Worked out well and my profits were good. I did not know whether we would go much further and took off a bit above 139 to at least cover the commissions.
Called it a day after this trade as I was green and reached my 30 executions for the day
