I was only able to trade the afternoon today and noticed this setting up as a flat top break out after lunch. EMAs curling up beneath price. Started to scale out and moved stop to buy price as it had multiple green candles in a row.
I was trying to be patient here and I was doing a good job until the end of day. It formed another flat top setup between 2pm-3;30pm and it started to break out but failed. This made me nervous and I sold out the remaining 100 shares. This ended up being a mistake as it ended up breaking out on that pattern in the last 5 min and it reached my $110 target. Almost had it today.
