The shorter your timeframe, the more entries matter.
In the short-term, you chase you lose.
You want to get involved on the first day of a potential multi-day move.
If you are buying something that is already up 4-5 days in a row, you are simply too late in the short term.
$SD is a perfect example.
When the stock finally got to the level that most people would consider it for a cookie-cutter “breakout” play, it was up 6 out of the last seven days.
$SD was already up +30% in the last week when it got the “breakout” level.
2/24 was a better entry. That is the day I took it as a trade at $12.36. Here is the trade; https://www.tradervue.com/shared/trades/40964882
