1 year daily chart from bigcharts. I use a 3 tier 50 day EMA. What I’m looking for is a cross over for the shorter term over the long term. The 50 EMA should be a level for institutional support

I closed this position to protect a profit. This was trading well and I was up approximately 10%, but things changed I had expected it to clear the resistance at $36. It didn’t…

I had checked this and realized that I should be further ahead then where it was trading. I knew something was wrong and I sold

Opened position at:  $32.35
Closed position at:    $33.05
+ $70 or +2.2%

I will still be watching this company, but the timing is not right now. Here is the 3 month daily from Stockcharts.com
