Didn't see too many stocks in the morning that fit my criteria so I went to see what SMRT was doing. It setup exactly the same way it did on Friday so I took it immediately.
Got in at 7.07, I kind of figured it would pullback like it did, but I didn't know when. I unloaded the first 25% once I hit a 1% gain. The second lot I bailed a little early not quite a 2% gain but I didn't like how it was hitting resistance on weak volume so I unloaded the second 25% slightly early. From there I broke even by raising my stop to my entry price and trailed it as the price kept increasing. Volume looked great, momentum was solid and going in the path of least resistance. I did however, sell my last 50% at 7.27 I didn't like how the momentum was declining pretty fast and there wasn't much volume but selling. I guess it was more of an impulse trade and I was getting bored lol.
Now I know why pro's say that good trading should be boring. I was bored as well and actually got pissed as the price was increasing because I knew I'd be sitting longer waiting to sell at my target. What's been keeping me in is I've been listening to a lot of music. I might even just start surfing the web and read some tech articles as the stock is doing its thing, and stick to my guns (stop's) no matter what.
