Entry: Initial entry for a scalp on long bear flag, about to run into the 9EMA; took a while to fill because I set an entry price a little higher than the current price to minimize my risk. Scaled up after a small break, because initial setup was still valid.
Exit: 40% for profit, then after scale-up 50% to reduce risk (after it turned up but came back down), then all out when it made higher lows (exited via limit order that was sitting for a while, rather than by me watching it, so I missed most of the move).
