Hey folks,
Here's a Day Trade i made today in my personal account. It was a very slow day in the market but while running my INTRA DAY scans i saw this trade setup and here's how i played it. I rarely short stocks in a bull market but this one was a rare exception.
I like to use BOLLINGER BANDS to help spot potential OverSold and/or OverBought stocks to Buy or Selll(short).
Note: this trade for experienced traders only. Rookies, please stay away from this type of trade setups until you get some more screen time under your belt.
I entered the trade in 3 separate pieces and averaged entry was $21.85-ish while holding 13,000 shares. This trade was good for a quick $2000.00 gain... coulda, woulda, shoulda been much much bigger with a lil more patience but as you already know, i am the "impatient trader".
My stop loss was 10 cents above the $22.00 round number.
Hope it helps!
