Notes
: Strong market and and hammer off the daily's 200sma made this an intriguing setup. But with the previous days run up and crazy market as of late.... I would have passed. This is a great example of being picky on your setups especially in these fast moving markets. If you took the trade you could have pulled out a winner by scaling out and sticking to a strict trade management plan.
