I actually placed this order a minute or two before market opened so I would get it first thing on news from Bloomberg. scaled out twice and let the rest ride until it started to go down. It never hit my buy price so it never stopped me out but just had me sitting there all day. I'm wondering if maybe on the second scale out you raise the stop to atleast the first scale. or why not the second sale?

How do you get the conviction to buy a huge gap up at the open?
Awesome gains!

I already had it on my watched and then bloomberg mentioned it in their top 10 the few minutes before open. so it was a bit of a gamble but I thought worth it.. i would have sold quick had it gone the other way.
