**What was the result of the trade, what happened? Profit. Market was gapping up at the time of entry. I took a LODB trade at 145.12 with 100 shares when the price action broke the HOD with confirmation and average volume but with momentum. The price action broke the LRC to the upside and was above the Bollinger Bands. I set the 9EMA with confirmation as my technical stop and a 1.50 hard stop based on the ATR of the 5-minute candle prior to entry. I had a daily pivot at ATH, and I set my profit targets at 146.25 and 146.50. I took a 2/3 partial when the price action reached 146.15 and then I set my stop to breakeven. I scaled the rest of my shares at 146.50 which was my final profit target.
