QLYS breakout of downward trendline

90
As QLYS breaks its minor downward trendline , a long position is entered with a tight stop.

Factors leading to the decision:
Long-term trend is bullish, medium term has been sideways
As we're nearing the top of the sideways range, approaching the resistance at 90 and 95 might offer a good opportunity for an even bigger breakout
A recent small retracement back to the trendline AND 20ma created a higher-low which is an ideal place to put a tight stop for the trade
20 SMA was recently crossed and held, luring in MA traders

As always, use a tight-stop. If it rips up, let it run and trail stops behind.
Trade closed manually
After being up 10% on this trade, 2 big bars killed all profits and stopped it out.
