I know exactly what I did wrong on this earnings play. I went long a little early in anticipation of the orb, big mistake! I'll definitely be careful of that in the future!

This is a tuff one as theres a lot of chop from 18.50 to 19.50 on daily so hard to gain an edge. Intraday though looked ok as back to highs at your entry. Only red flag is the size of the candle and volume at 20 minutes. Took 15 minutes to move up and less then 5 to erase that entire move. Of course it's easy to see that since it happened in the past.

you're def right! I looked at the volume on that big red candle and just ignored it and thought, "it's still in play." lol so dumb...
