This trade came up as a pre market gapper as well as a stock in new highs. Being that it had no resistance meant it was from the best from the gappers, because of that I was looking for a opening range breakout.

Mistakes that I can now see is that the first 5min bar seems extended (I not entirely sure, share your view.) That I should have waited for a pull back or flag. Also I had an order that didn't get filled nor did I cancel it so I had twice the amount of shares.

Not a perfect trade but still green.

The first candle does look extended, but I'm no expert on this. I agree with your analysis too. I wouldn't have dared to enter where you entered. Nice trade though!
