Not the greatest trade today.
Although it started so well with a short after the relief move out of the Open.
I had the confluence of the SMA100 and SMA200 between 310.50 and 311.50 marked as points of significance. For support below 301 297 and 290. Resistance of 315ish and 321.
When TSLA ran into the SMAs I opened a short and took profits rather quickly leaving on 4 shares short with a short bias.
I think that is where things went a little south. As I was short 4 share already my bias was short and I somewhat ignored what formed to be a nice long flag. The strange thing is that I was long biased for TSLA and even expected it to run higher...
But I still had the resistance levels in mind and built up a short position as TSLA made new highs.
My adds and entries were all good and no matter how slow I was in trading today I was confident I would get out close to break-even or with a profit. I was in the green for good and not too worried and relaxed. This also is shown by my last add after TSLA rejected 321 and finally 322 on a couple of spikes on the 1m-Chart.
Took off half at break even and covered down to VWAP as final target. For the break I left a piece on, but that didn't happen and I took it off break-even.
