curranjohnwelcome! As Steve mentioned we all have to find our style, etc, that said for GOEV, it was setup as a bull flag with good volume patterns. A day trader could have caught a nice quick trade through that downtrend line this morning and have been out. The trendline on the daily chart was broken probably within 20 min of the open.  A hybrid swing trader (one who does some day and swing trading) might have bought that initial trendline break, then sold 1/2 of his position after the morning move, while still keeping the other 1/2 shares with a stop in case it continues higher. The chart looks good but is a bit separated from its 9 EMA

also I have a question for you outside of this - I sent you an email - check your email, thx
