Jet Blue Trade Stop Now in Profit Territory

Today the stop price for the Jet Blue trade (link here) has been moved into profit territory. Now the question is how large the profit will be. Some notes

-     Stop prices are regularly part of trades and are generally a good idea

-     A W formation looks likely which would move the price into the $24+ range.
