Massive move today. Would love to get this on a pull back to the green box, but may not get a chance. I have another alert set at todays high. A break of the high could get us up to 82.20.
Additional Info:
I am an intraday scalper and short term swing trader of stocks & Futures using options and equity.
I focus on high volume momentum stocks in strong uptrends.
My time frame is between 5minutes to 5 days on most trades.
I scale into positions and scale out of positions as my targets are hit.
I always trail my stops after T1 is hit to reduce risk and lock in gains.
If my post is on a Weekly/Daily/240M chart the idea is a swing trade.
If my post is on a 60M chart or lower the idea is a day trade.
Day trades can turn into swing trades if the stock is strong.
All trades should be supported by market direction.
Treat my posts as trade ideas and not signals.
Traders must trade using their own back tested trade plan and rules.
Traders must plan risk first and profits second.
Additional Additional Info:
If you use options to trade high IV stocks it is crucial to wait for some consolidation or a pull back.
If you buy an option when price is stretched you will find that even when the instrument trades in your
direction you will lose money because you will have paid too much premium.
Simple rule = BUY options when candles are SMALL and SELL options when candles are BIG.

Pulled back to the green box. No position yet due to the sell off in tech today. If the NAS finds a base I will enter long.

Entered long 76.50. Looking for 82, but needs to take out 80 first.
Comment:
Still holding but underwater now. Held because price stayed above the initial entry zone (green box). I'm risking a gap down over the weekend but it is not technically broken. Looing for it to hold the trendline on Monday.

Do or die at the trend line right now. Broader market not helping. If it takes out todays low I will exit. Can alway re-enter if it sets up again.
Comment:
Stopped.

Stopped me out but I hope a few were able to hold for the eventual move.
