EW: Made one trade while I was away from the computer this morning.
Buy on stop limit order @ 104.95
Stop = 103.7 Target = 109

Pullback play; I had an order in to buy when the stock broke above yesterdays high. Stop is below yesterday’s low. Theory being that the probability of the stock going higher is greater than that of it going lower. So much for probability theory.

SHFL:
Sold @ 14.83 for a small loss
