Day Chart: flag break, continued upside
Buy: 2 candle flag, would be flag #2 of the morning
Sell: raise stop. Stock spiked .21 from entry within 2 candles but an equally powerful red flush candle broke earlier candle low at 4.63 and went straight through 4.56 stop.
Lesson: could have used a hard stop under low of last candle to avoid big flushes. I anticipated a move just approximately as strong as the last flag pole or at least that it would go sideways where I could then sell. If I look at day chart, I could see a 4.75 pivot area for short-term resistance. Need to be more prepared with targets and resistance areas.
