Bought the Bounce at SPY 320.00

It was a simple notion:  SPY support around the round number of 320.  Consider going long, but wait for SPY to prove itself.

So I used the candle break entry tactic, looking to buy the first break of a one-minute candle high on a bounce off of 320.00.  I've drawn in a red line between 10:20 and 10:25 where the entry level occurred.




It played out smoothly, with a ten-cent gain on each of the first three contracts and a 25-cent gain on the fourth.

The final contract was a runner, and it could have closed for more.  I had tried to set up a candle trail using three-minute candles, which is not something we've tried before.  It turns out there's a bug somewhere in there.  I ended up having to close the trailing contract manually.

End result:  
  • $58 profit
  • A soon-to-be-dead bug
