Setup: Bull Flag Breakout
- Bought the breakout on the open
- Sold in 4 parts on the rip higher (sold in 4 parts in order to reduce risk, but mainly to get used to letting a position run); However, got stopped out on sharp pullback.
- Should've used EMA as stop, rather than prior bar's low, in order to capture full gain

If a stock has multiple green candles in a row, do not chase it. Let it pullback and setup again, and if there is no setup to play, move on to another stock.
