Trade Rationale

CRM trade is also similar to OKTA and ADBE. I did get in at a slightly higher price point $185 -$190, but I know many of you were able to get in at $180-$185 spread. The $180 support line seems very strong and $180-$185 is a nice entry point for this trade.Also, if you have been trading with me for some time, you will notice that since I do mean reversion trades, after I post the trade alert, you get many opportunities to get into the trade for a better price than me. This is because nobody can catch bottoms or tops, so after I post my trade, the stock can continue going against me for a couple of days. This also brings out a nice point - there is no need for you to drop everything you are doing and pull the trigger when you see a trade alert. I encourage the mentality of looking at the trade, understanding the structure and see if you can get filled. If you don't get filled, simply let the trade go and wait for the next one. There is always another trade around the corner.
