Trade active:
I went ahead and entered into a small position without getting the volume I was hoping for, just because it's MS - and because it broke over resistance from over a year ago. I will exit quickly if it starts to reverse.
Comment:
Off to the races.
Comment:
Added to my position today.
Comment:
Pullback on lower volume is setting up for the next leg higher.
Comment:
I'll take some off soon (assuming it keeps moving up)...maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of my position.
Comment:
Didn't sell any of my position before the pullback today, but will stop out if price drops and holds at or below my entry price.
Comment:
If you're not in, the next entry I'd consider would be when price clears 338.56 with volume greater than the 20 day average.
Comment:
Sold 1/3

Sold 1/3
Comment:
I rarely hold thru earnings, but in this case I probably will, but only because I'm up overall on the trade - I've got some padding.
Comment:
I did hold my find 1/3 into earnings. Will see what happens tomorrow.
Comment:
Ugly dip after earnings, but in my opinion (which is often wrong), we're setting up for the next leg up - I'll hold my shares until price hits my original purchase price, or my target, whichever happens first. Either way, I made money on the trade.
Comment:
Got my stop set at my original entry, I fully expect to get take out tomorrow, but can't wait for the next leg up.
Comment:
Still in - I'd love to see this pullback end and finish this trade at my target.
Comment:
Pullback approaching 78%. I'm still my final 1/3, but am also in the green, if this market pullback goes another day or two I'll probably exit to ensure I don't end up with a loser.
