Bullish chart - CNQR building strong cup pattern

Concur Technologies (CNQR) has been a bright spot during the market’s recent correction. It’s a member of the Computer Software-Enterprise group and has superior marks in Investor Business Daily’s Smart Select Ratings.

Trading Journal

Added to position in MPWR:

I had originally bought my first position at about +2.5% above the $27.60 buy point. Ifigured that since it dropped below that, I would bring down my average ’safely’. What you’re supposed to do is buy at that buy point and buy more if it goes above your initial purchase price. [...]
