Three separate trades:
Intraday flag break around 11:20am bought at $8.21 and sold on the mini spike back towards HOD.
Intraday short breakdown around 2pm at $8.08, covered at previous support around $8.00.
Short breakdown at $8.00 and covered at $7.93.
These were all good trades. The only thing I could have done a little better was not be greedy/paranoid. In the first trade I sold 1/2, then 1/4, then stopped flat on the last 1/4 at around 12:45pm. Then on the second trade I covered the 2nd half at 2:45pm out of fear on the bounce off $8.00 which I should have just held as it never really violated any resistance levels or my stop at $8.08 (breakeven). It worked just like I had planned, breaking down at $8 again and I re-entered. Basically this was good but could have been done in fewer buys/sells with less commission if I was a little more confident. Overall profit around $75.
