Retracement Short in BIDU

[Steven Place]

After a strong, strong breakdown on earnings, the stock has pulled back into the middle of the range. It’s not overbought just yet but now’s a good time to start scaling into the short side.

I am breaking from the trade plan and closing out the position early with intent to re-sell.

Here’s why:

1. BIDU is probably forming a higher low and will retest the most recent swing highs.

2. The trade has already captured 50% of the credit after two trading days.

3. The overall markets are getting close to short term oversold which could lead to a broad based bounce.

4. Roger talked me into it
