Comment:
Picked up 11/12 149P's @ .82 to catch the momentum shift on the MACD. 2 DTE

Filled 148/135Ps @ 2.64.
Comment:
Filled the 11/12 149P's @ .89, +8.5%. not a swift enough reaction to keep the capital in this position at risk.
Trade active:
The candle today is okay, I am just concerned about this being a holiday week.

Generally, for tomorrow:
A bullish candle tomorrow will mean a close out.
A bearish candle will mean a roll.

I may just close this out anyways, as our position has a price target of 135, and we'll now be trading the middle of the range, where it could chop for 1 to 3 weeks for sure.
Trade closed manually:
Closed @ 3.29, +25%.
I opted to just close out and not wait around for the market to pick a direction while WMT sits in the middle of the range.
