Followed rules, profit.
Setup on daily: second day of Rubber-band Snap-back.
Setup intraday: Bear Flag
Reasons to enter: price was pulling back to 9EMA. I shorted as the price broke down below the VWAP/Bear Flag.
Concerns: Stochastics are extremely oversold (around 5) on 30-minute time frame.
Stop: $10.20 above VWAP.
First target: $9.80 I didn't have a good reason why I picked this target. It just seemed realistic, because Bear Flags tend to break lows.
R/R 1:1 not good.
I had to cover the last third of the position, because I had to leave. Too bad...
