  4. good discipline on TWC, but the upper shadows were kinda predicting the PB/drop. ESSA was a coin flip, not my cup of tea. when i get a 1-day windfall like PTEN, i sell some.. but hindsight is 20/20... if you are gonna sell partials you gotta be rady to wake-up the next day & see PTEN gap up at the open.
