Notes: Scale out at +3....stop to even and let it run...remaining stopped out at entry. I liked the fast gap fill into the 200sma on the 5 minute chart...and the resistance of the previous days close. Found an opening on the 1 minute chart. I look for these on fast gap fills...especially weak markets.
