Stock made a $5 run yesterday so I was looking for a continuation today. It ramped up early in the morning on an ORB making highs near 21.00. When the stock pulled back to the 9 EMA and VWAP and began coiling I entered with the anticipation of another move up past the highs. I entered 100 shares at 19.67 with a stop at 19.05 and my first target at the high of 21.00. The stock broke out of the flag and I scaled out 50 shares at 20.80 and the remaining 50 as the 9 EMA was broken at 20.23.

Nice job anticipating that move! I also like how you sold your remaining shares when the 9ema broke instead of letting it come back to your buy-in price.
