A lot of traders want a pullback to long an ATH break, but rarely does it have a perfect retest. 1) smashes cleanly through the level & hesitates before resuming 2) rinses below the breakout point to stop leveraged traders Play the momentum or don’t. The choice is yours.

Unpopular opinion: one entry/stop/target is not the only way to trade... More often then not when I’m scalping my first entry is wrong.. that means I’m either averaging in WITH A PLAN or I’m taking paper cuts until I nail the backside of the move..
