NEWS: Roku (ROKU -2.4%) has pared earlier, deeper losses on the day after Citron Research deletes a tweet where the firm called Roku "uninvestable" and posts a clarification."To clarify, we are watching $ROKU from the side," Andrew Left's firm tweeted a few minutes ago. "After successfully shorting ROKU as it traded as high as $50 in late 2017, we reversed our position at $35 last year. With Apple teaming up with Sams, LG, and Vizio investors must consider the risk to the bigger story," Citron continues.

TRADING PLAN: ROKU held in lower ½ of range yesterday and a failure into the afternoon high $41.65 from yesterday could signal a short. Set alerts above $43 and watch the price action for a good short entry. I perceive this news as fairly neutral and I should also be open to the long side. A hold above $41.50 is a bullish sign for more upside continuation.

NOTES: The stock was alert triggered when it got above $43 and I watched the price again waiting for a high to be put in. I saw this happen when the price got up to around 43.60 and then suddenly sold off hard down to 43. I started looking for a short entry when the price couldn't get above 43.30. I tried 2 nervous starter positions and basically broke even on those. I tried again at $43.07 with more confidence and was able to hold the trade down to 42.34 and 42.53 as it sold off hard. I tried one last scalp at 43.26 since my ultimate target was 42 on this trade.
