Stock gapped up on an earnings beat. The ideal entry would have been as the stock rounded with the EMAs curling upwards around 21.65. I went long 200 shares at 21.99 on what looked like a flag at the time, although technically it wasn't much of one. I had a stop placed at 21.80 which was a bit wide considering the reward to risk. I should have sold a few shares off when it made highs at 22.25. I did not take into consideration the run it had already made so I mistakenly held on for a bigger move. I went long another 200 shares as it broke out of its flag and pierced through the 9 EMA at 22.09. It began to stall out at 22.20, just below the highs of the day. I should have been looking to exit here upon realizing this, but again, I was expecting a bigger move. I stopped trading the chart and started trading my PnL. Always a big mistake. I ended up exiting almost flat at 21.80.
