This trade idea came to me from a friend of mine at the local IBD Meetup. This company was on open round of companies to review. I liked the chart and the way it was trading in the past few weeks

There are some warning flags like earning are not at the IBD standard. The EPS earnings are coming soon

I got filled at $43.09
50 day EMA stop at $41.29
+20% target at $51.71

I closed out of my position today and got filled at 46.11. This had been going up on light volume and it is extended past the 10 day EMA. The earnings are coming up on 11/06 and I did not want to hold during the earnings announcement

$46.11 - $43.09 = $3.02 / 43.09 = 6.5% in 8 trading days
