Emotions:
EZPW is a strong IBD stock since entering the trade it has not rebounded nicely, and the %R has not gone back above overbought, this isn't a very clean retest and I may remove the trade in lieu of other opportunities.
Also the retest occured well inside the accel bands and this is also sub-optimal according to new learning from Price Headley.
