GOOG Trade on Apr 30, 2014 09:43 from Blake_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

This was a triple tap breakdown starting from the previous day.

I didn't want to take the trade in the first two candles because there was so much movement. When it held the MAs on the by the third candle, I shorted it. I shorted it where the top red diamond is but it only filled a handful of shares and then filled the rest 50 cents lower, so I took out a handful of shares to minimize the risk if I ended up losing.

That cost me quite a few dollars, but it was still profitable!

Nice job on entry. First cover was to early and like you said, let them last few shares get away.
