Stock was forming a flag. I went long 1000 shares at 9.88. I have no idea why I didn't scale out some shares while the stock was making highs. I didn't pay attention to the spread I guess and was expecting a bigger move. But with my position size this was a decent gain and I definitely should have been booking profits. I allowed my stop to trigger at 9.80 although I should have been looking to exit as soon the 9 EMA was broke after highs were made.

Yeah... this one is tough. I'm not sure you could have played it better ... other than not to play it. Daily doesn't scream "buy" to me. But I thought your execution was pretty good.
