**Shorted EBAY on the gap up on news. I knew the market was weak and EBAY had gapped up like 10%. I had a bias to the short side, but created Game Plans for long scenarios as well. When EBAY gapped down on the open I was looking for a hold below 34.22 and entered as we got below that range bottom. I was wicked out, but reentered lower at 34.10. With a stop above the range around 34.26. EBAY continued to sell through 34 and my target was 33.5. I should have added on the retest at 34. I waited patiently for the drop into 33.5 support and exited when I saw buyers show up. I executed part 2 of my Game Plan very well. Definitely should have considered a long for a quick 20 cent scalp off the support.
