Flat top formed on the 1 min chart but on the 5 min chart my entry was too late. When I entered at the peak the stock grinded sideways for a bit and then dropped down for a pullback. My mental stop was actually 31.15 but the stock moved so fast that I couldn't catch it at my stop. So I lost more than I had anticipated once I covered my position.

I should've waited for the pullback.
