I started off good with this one. I noticed that it made a bullish flag in the premarket then broke out to the upside and rolled over, falling below the flag pattern. it did a lot of volume at 13.15 so when it broke below I offered 13.14 with a stop at 13.25 (the bottom of flag). I added when it got below 13.00 but what messed me up was exiting my whole position when it went back above 13.00, I exited all lots at 13.06. it tested the 13.15 level and then came back down, and over the next 15mins I was struggling to keep my position getting in and out over and over instead of looking for the big trade.

I kept trying to take small small losses instead of just have in a 15cent stop so I kept getting stopped out. I did terrible on this one!!
No worries, I've been there as well. Be careful of overtrading, it can kill any potential profits.

Did you purposely enter and exit the stock that many times? Commission would be killer on that! lol...
