There’s not a lot to say about the trade I’m posting today. Anyone who read my previous post about ROKU<\/a> and who was watching this stock will undoubtedly have seen what happened. Here’s the chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were two yellow flags in the setup. One was the fact we had to cross the MA, which in the event the price managed with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second was the need to get through the previous day’s low. That took a little bit longer. Technically there was a potential entry around 10:15am, but there was no momentum and that blue line proved troublesome. Staying out was the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The true entry came after 10:30 when volume and momentum picked up. All the ducks lined up for a good short. Good turned into epic, and days of news and speculation took the price crashing downwards. In under fifteen minutes we hit the magic $100. I got out then, because as we can see from the chart, momentum swung the other way, and I’d made more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making more than five thousand dollars in fifteen minutes is always nice, but of course what really counts is the execution, not the profit or loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a good opportunity for a second entry about an hour later, though I was long gone by then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
