Trade Rationale

SHOP is a huge mover. Price changes of $100 - $150 in a day are normal. Even after good earnings, it dropped all the way down to $900 levels, before reversing back up to $1050. Since, Nasdaq has been under pressure due to an apparent sector rotation, SHOP gave us another opportunity today at the $900 support level. As you can clearly see, the $900 level is very well established support for SHOP which prompted me to take this trade.
