ORB
Again, for the third time an ORB. Normally hwere I'm pretty good at opening range breaks, I had a really tough time today!
It's not like GS was extended either. It only went up about 1.40 from the low, which is not much for a $150 stock

Sometimes it pays to know the 'behavior of specific stocks" since some tend to repeat. Goldman in particularly is notorious for ORB fails, even a few months back when SPYs were making highs. I always stay away unless all banks are moving together.

Bit high on entry. $157.40ish was idea entry. Worst case you could have stop out flat.
