Setup Grade: B+
Notes: Scale as you go and get your stop to even. Daily had a nice hammer and it consolidated the prior day (see 5 minute chart). Small gap and a double bar hammer set up...almost wedge like. As hold a little after getting stop to even to see if you can catch a nice gainer. In this case would have been stopped out but it ran later on.
