NBY Breakout and CRBP Bounce Plays

Poor execution on CRBP. Traded it like a scalp play but should have traded it more like a swing play.

Novabay Pharmaceutical (NBY)

Pharmaceuticals – California USA

Gapping up after deal to sell assets. Low float so its moving with a decent amount of volatility. Entry for a scalp bounce off 0.75 and possibly scalp VWAP breakout. Was not confident that it would have strong momentum to reach 1.00 again, plus its premarket so a bit of extra risk, so exited as it nears 0.90.
