From 9/13 to 9/15, MGM was coiling tightly on the daily chart, which had me thinking swing long. On Friday 9/16, the range high was broken, so I put on a first leg. The stock gapped down on Monday 9/19, but also held above the range lows...so I waited. Late in the day the stock again broke the range highs, so I added twice, quadrupling my position. On 9/20 the stock gapped up and I waited to see what it had in it. As momentum abated, I sold half of the position, and when another leg higher failed to materialize, I sold half of the remainder, down to just 1/4 position now. It finished weak, and I exited the final portion on the gap up on 9/21, as normally strong trends are more convincing in the early stages.
