I had about 5 stocks on my watchlist this morning and only 2 of them I was really keeping an eye on. I am glad I stuck to wait until the 2nd candle rule. Good on that. Then I was really watching CAPR because it was a little higher priced than STAF and was more volatile premarket. CAPR never dipped down to the 1.40 1.35 area I would have liked it to so next best thing was to wait until the breakout. It had shown it had triple topped before around 1.65 and was having trouble breaking 1.70 this morning. But when it did I was able to get executed at 1.75. I am glad I watched the level 2 even though there were massive sellers in the ask so I kept thinking the bidders were going to get chipped away. I "sat on my hands" and watched until the stock went up to 1.93 and then it had a big pull back almost immediately to high 1.80s so I set my risk at 1.85 and it came down so I got out. Which turned out to be good anyways because it faded down tom the 1.60s afterwards.
Due to my PDT rule this is my 2nd trade of the week so I only have 1 trade left. I am going to have to be wise about what I use that on for unless I see a very strong stock closing high.
