NIHD - Hit and Run

Since I normally don't enter trades before 10:30... I always take a look at King Jamie's watchlist before 10am to check for inside bars forming near the intraday pivot point. Today... I found NIHD. Entered long on a break of the 2nd bar high which was right at the pivot point. The third bar was a rollercoaster so I figured I'd take the money and run if it got to 2R. And that's what I did.


I also entered EMN off the :30... dumped half my shares for breakeven, then took a loss on a revised stop. I then closed the computer and called it a day. Of course, right after I did that a nice entry showed up on the :15 (2pm bar). Bitch!
