A dummy a day: AMIS Holdings Inc. (AMIS)

Since day trading is a lot about recognizing the patterns in charts, I have decided to post a chart every day that would have resulted in a profitable dummy trade. I will post these in the dummy-a-day category which you can simply click to review for practice. The chart will be displayed as it looked when the trade should have been executed, and when you move your mouse over the image, it will show how the trade would have resulted.
After the gap up, AMIS didn’t really look like it was going anywhere until around noon, when it did finally go somewhere:


If you bought AMIS when it broke above the 11:30 inside candle at $8.93 with a stop below it at $8.81, you would only risk 12 cents. Holding until the end of the day would have given you about 67 cents for every share you owned, or 5.6 times your risk.
