But what&#8217;s that I see? A triangle. A sign something could happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a half-hearted attempt to break out of the pattern around 11am, but it failed and turned into a consolidation pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the real move came, and on escalating volume. With some momentum to ride, it was time to jump in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I almost came out on the blue line, but the price was weak and made very little effort at recovery, so I adjusted my target and kept going a bit further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ended up being quite a long trade (in time terms, not direction) for me, especially for TSLA, a stock that I tend to jump in and out of quickly. In all it was about 25 minutes. It netted $2,320 profit though, so the effort was well worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one trade to post today, because I&#8217;m in a hurry and because it&#8217;s a good&#8217;un.
