i really screwed this one up. This was on my list as a gapper, and i looked at it fast and appeared to be a consolidation BO. Waited until it got above the earlier BO bump and longed for the BO. I was zoomed way out on the 5-min chart and jumped the gun a bit. really was a late entry, but didnt really notice until i zoomed in further. Had a slow climb up, but didnt hit my first target of 41.15, and then faded back down. I was waiting and waiting for it to bounce back up and therefore never sold a partial. BIG MISTAKE. faded back down and sold out flat. Had i managed it better, could have had some profit on this.
