I shorted this one too early. I also should have had a tighter stop. I should not have lost $69 on this one.

Did you mean entry was too late? I think if you caught it earlier at the bear flag right above 64, this would have been a great set up. Since you missed the best entry, maybe wait for a pop towards resistance to short next time. Good luck!

I didn't see it during the 1st bear flag. It wasn't on my radar yet. I guess you could also argue that my stop was too tight because it continued short after I stopped out.

yes u culd have shorted earlier but ur stop is way to tight. if u chase it but the setup is good u have to give it a breather or even reduce ur shares a few then let it play out
