Trade Journal: Long $ZM - Inside Day Setup - 3/27/2020
ZM has been gaining a lot of attention lately due to COVID-19 and the rising demand for online conferencing programs. ZM had recently broke out but has been relaxing for the last 3 days after reaching a high of 164. The last 2 days, ZM formed inside candlesticks on the daily chart indicating that a breakout may be imminent.
Following yesterday's post on ZM, the inside day candlestick trade triggered today at 147. I was not able to catch the initial breakout, however I did catch some shares during the late morning retracement at $150 and put my stop loss at today's low.
Entry - 150.76
Stop loss - 145
Target - 175

Despite the nice gap up today, ZM looks like it cannot hold it's gains after trending down the entire day. I moved my stop loss to 147.35, below the previous higher low on the 30m timeframe.

Stopped out at 147.30. Looks like ZM double topped at 160 and continues to act inversely to the market. If weakness continues, I see a nice short opportunity at around 140 if we get a lower high.
