Closed: ZBRA

Good signal and then mediocre earnings = Loss. 
Summary
Entry: 82.38
Exit: 78.46

So this went horribly awry.  The lesson is that the "signal" does not matter if earnings are the next day.  The bid ask spread opened up and I panicked a bit and did not pull the trigger right away.  It cost me more money. Bigger loss than I had anticipated but still within threshold.    Lesson learned.

Opened: ZBRA

Here's a nice little chart.  Trend and then a  month long pull back from 85 to 79.   Today it pops back to the upside.  I buy. 82.38.   Stop 79.

Earnings are tomorrow.
