This was my play today. It was so extended on the daily and a big gap up so I tried to enter right at the open without a setup intraday, rubberband on the daily. Market had also gapped up and that helps fade individual stocks. Risky trade but I had a hunch. Ended up chasing my entry but the risk ratio still seemed right. I missed the first flush by 15c so after the failed bull flag I doubled my position short. Scaled twice and didn't realize I still had my original sell at 75.50 pending so that closed me out entirely. Happy trade.
Concerns: no setup, big position.

Actually there is a setup there if you where using the 1min chart (ORBD). Look like you shorted it again once it created another lower high.
Damn good play if you ask me.
