How to trade stocksbows-opengraphTrading-Watch-List

Here is a trade we did in $GDOT last week. This is a type of earnings play that we do each day during earnings season.  Earnings season is my favorite time to trade, as we see a ton of these setups. $GDOT had a big gap down on PR/earnings.  Usually a large gap of any type up or down gets my attention, as it means it's "in play." After the initial pop from the open, we shorted at $9.90 on the crack, covering 1/2 at $9.47 and the other 1/2 $9.2. We then reshort again late day at $9.64, covering 1/2 at $9.37 and $9.24I give myself a b+ on the trade. I managed the trade pretty well, but both times I could have shorted at a higher price, as the setup had a very high probability of breaking down.
