Entered on breach of upper BB on heavy volume, then got stopped out when it breached HOD.
Notice how the volume is steadily increasing as opposed to a random massive volume spike which typically suggests exhaustion. This was a poor entry from me but one I will learn from. Also the over all market was in a general up day so swimming against the tide.

Entered when 2nd bar couldn’t break above the opening bar on high volume. Scaled 50% on the opening gap fill where it reversed and got stopped out when it broke above HOD.
Later in the day you can see it breached the upper BB on 2x the avg volume, I wasn’t online but if you had taken that you would have made a low risk 2$ approx.
Gap down and high vol continuation, entered on break of 1st bar lower on high volume.
Scaled 50% near the lows approx 12th bar from the open.
