Nice Day Tradr. I was also in AMGN.

Exit was blunder. There was clear support at around $64-63.70 area. Don't know what I was thinking.

APOL has been acting very nicely at support and resistance so far.

Thanks Jim. Where did you exit in AMGN?

On AMGN trade from last week, I was working and left a BE stop in place thru mid-day. I exited later in the afternoon following the failure/reversal at the AM low. I would have managed it tighter (as you did) if I had been monitoring full-time.

Thanks Jim. My exits are really bad and wanted to see how I could have improved my exit.
