bull squeeze

The day in the SPY as it unfolded.  The vertical lines correspond to buying points on negative TICK readings once the market began to consolidate, but the payoff wasn't very rewarding throughout the afternoon (scalps for 15-25-cents).
I had a resting bid in at $123.86 (corresponding to the 9:30 breakout point) and sold it at IB high only to buy back higher (around vwap) as the market character began to change (forming that triangular seed wave).  The position was taken off in full acci-fucking-dentally! near the highs of the day on an extreme TICK (meant to only take half).  All-in-all an extremely disappointing performance today on a day that rewarded patience.
