Transaction en cours

Very tough decision on whether or not to stay in here, basically closed right on the trendline.
I set a tentative stop @ 53.15 and the close was @ 53.16, although I may not have honored it anyways give or take a couple tenths of a percentage point.
I'd liken this to a coin flip on whether or not the trendline will hold come tomorrow,
this a hold for me though.
