I'm almost embarrassed to post this trade because I didn't keep any shares for the EOD run and this would've been just a massive win. I nailed the entry too which hurts that much more as a $10 run even with my last 100 shares would've been epic. It goes to show that no matter how high a stock is and how extended is little old me thinks it is, there is always room to run higher and there's a reason to set a stop at the buy price and let the last bit ride.

I'm not sure you being all out by the time you were is bad. I think maybe the 2nd & 3rd exits could've been held longer for higher exits.
Maybe the trade that was missed wasn't the hold, but a re- entry after around 11:06 am , after it had consolidated
That's a great point Tom. I didn't have the courage to jump back in when it was a pretty obvious setup.
