Pullback break out on the 1 minute chart. Entered a long position. Mental stop at 54.20. Scaled out once and then exited my position after during the extended candle.
The stock hit resistance and I thought that it was resting only to spike up so more. So I entered again after a small pull back as it started to round on the 1 min chart. The 5 min. chart showed that it was extended and needed time to rest and possibly pull back, but at the time I wasn't looking at the 5 min. Once the stock went against me by 11 cents I exited.
Re-entered again when I shouldn't have. This time I didn't really have a stop and the stock hit resistance and dropped. I exited and gave most of my early gains back because I was looking at the wrong chart.
