LONG TEVA 50.04
STOP 49.94
TGT 50.24

- TEVA jamming up against 50.00 resistance in a very weak market after 10am
- I was waiting for a bar to hold over 50.00 or for SPY to give me some strength
- I knew I was going to be buying HOD as my entry.
- SPY sets up a tiny HL off it's lows
- TEVA hits HOD, I get long
- I stepped out and in my journal I mentioned I had a b/e stop which would have ticked me out before it got to tgt. I actually had my stop at .98 and even attached a screenshot
- out +0.2
