2.4.19
Dip bought at 7.90 (Right in between the 20MA and 50MA on the 30min chart.

Idea was to re-start position with a size risking only <1% with a stop @ the low of the previous day's close 7.40

Orders were set to:
LMT Buy 50 @ 8.00 (set, then canceled as price began to quickly decline to price of order around 2pm - did not want to catch a free falling chart)
LMT Buy 50 @ 7.90 (set and filled. Size will allow stress free decline in price till 7.40 risking less than 1% account total, which would of broken through the Low of Day @ 7.50 giving plenty of signals along the way)

Position restarted @ 7.90
STOP @ 7.40
Price Target @ 9.40 - This will change as position size is increased along the way.

WHAT A MORNING! ACB!!!! YESSS!!!!!!

A targeted accnt balance was hit today, bumping my 1% risk threshold by 20%! Real term dollars do not provide the mental satisfaction to my progress, but translating into % growth shows how much progress is actually happening.

Started the day with the plan to lock in the shares swung over from the previous day. Pre-market was not especially strong for the type of momentum we've been seeing so the plan was to preserve what small gains were had.

Initial position sold half at 8.25 (at 9:27am but charts do not show pre/after market hrs) and the rest at 8.09 at the opening bell.

Idea was to restart the position without fear of losing the unrealized gains

Orders were set (and admittedly forgotten about) yesterday for dip-buy opportunities. 100! Shares were set at 7.75 which were quickly bought up close to the open. Glad it was there because I have a habit of planning out morning movements, but not executing them due to fear and hesitation. Plans AND sizes were appropriate so forgetting about this order would not have created a nightmare, only a losing trade of about 1.4% accnt balance. Completely within threshold after earning 30% in the last 30 days.

The following buy/sell plots indicate how I observed the day and why I chose to close out.

Awesome trade, 3.41% acct gains in less than 2 hours on a dip buy! Sweet!

PLEASE NOTE

This is TWO (2) separate trades. I only kept it as one trade to display the method of dip-buying and what it is I'm looking at (MAs, pre/after market activities, Risk/Reward levels, catalyst etc.)

1st trade was a swing position from yesterday to today.
2nd trade was the day-trading opportunity from dip buying at the 50MA on the 15 min chart.
