How I saw a buy opportunity:
Stock price jumped off the support line I drew from 30OCT17 close price of $80.62.
Stochastic Oscillator (14,3,1) 3JAN18 had a crossover and moved above 20.
My 5SMA - 10SMA had a crossover on 3JAN18.
My play in the trading simulator game:
I was full of anticipation and bought too early.
On 2JAN18, I bought 700 shares at $81.65, one May option with a $80 strike for $3.50, and one May option with a $85 strike for $1.20.
On 3JAN18, I got worried because the stock was dropping and decided to buy more in order to dilute my overall buy price. I bought 700 shares at $81.44
So far so good. Will it climb above my lower trend line? Simon says yes...momentum is good.
