Entry Comments: saw the chart for PEP after earnings. The chart jumped above the trendline, so I made a tentative plan to see what the stock would do on Oct. 13th. Saw the stock rising the next morning but had no formal plan to execute, and life situation got in the way. Always base your trading plan on your life situation and don't force it! I did take a paper trade at 172.45 at 100 shares

 

Exit Comments: I sold 100 shares at 172.55 for a $10 profit, but sold way too soon. 

 

Entry comments: 2 hours later, I entered 100 shares again at 174.65 still seeing strength, and the exhaustion oscillator indicator showed a good entry point. 

Exit comments: I got too nervous to stay too long, feeling that the chart was overbought, and sold 100 shares at 174.90 for a profit of $25.00
