Only one trade today as I had to leave the office at 2:00 EST. We had a weak open, but shortly after 10:00 things turned around. NVEC was a potential NR7 going into the session so I watched it closely. After a shaky open, it managed to hold yesterday's low as support in the early going. By 10:30 it looked well positioned to make a move higher so I took a low risk entry as soon as the 5th bar took out the fourth bar high. NVEC rallied nicely from $38.00 to $39.00 and then began to consolidate. After the ninth bar, I tightened my stop. By accident, I typed in $38.94 instead of $38.84. The stop out would have been inevitable either way. Once the consolidation started to narrow, I re-entered long just above $39.00 and took my exit at 1:30 just above $39.50.

NR7's are starting to become one of my favorite patterns to look for.
