I am currently down in the position -4% and I'm watching this one close, because it is about to trip my stop. This had a large loss on very light volume and I am expecting a bounce. It may roll over and some warning signs

This had drifted down on light volume and then rolled over. I was stopped out and I got filled at $25.14. This is still on my watch list, but my timing was off

I had kept this on a review list and this has been holding in an otherwise bad market. I noticed the price action and decided to by back into this stock
I have changed my targets using more of the recent low for the stop and upside. I have a time stop of 7 trading days, because if this is not making me money by then I can move on
Cost $25.56
Stop $23.00
Target $30.00

I closed out the position today, because I had seen a bad headline. This was getting close to my cost basis and I have not liked the way it has been trading. I wanted to be able to free up the cash to put to better use elsewhere
This was a frustrating trade, because I had held during earning reporting. The stock did nicely at earnings, but it hasn't responded well afterwards. I got filled at $25.76
25.76 - 25.56 = .20 /25.56 = +.07% since 12/07/18
