Shorted when price started bear flagging on 2-min chart. Was trying to buy high in the flag to get a good entry, but may have been a bit premature, as MAs are still somewhat above. Set stop above 2-min 9EMA. Covered half into spike; moved stop to entry price. Accidentally covered when I entered my stop order wrong (I still mix up shorts all the time). Reshorted because price was bear flagging again (and was premature again), with stop above 9EMA. Stopped out.
Set up order to short in anticipation of price dropping below 5-min VWAP, but mixed up again and accidentally entered early. Stop above 5-min 9EMA. Stopped out.
Bought long when price passed above highest MA on 5-min chart after passing an area of resistance it had been stuck at at $16.50. Placed stop below 5-min 9EMA. I'm thinking this was dumb; I'm upset at my stupid PnL and I'm making wrong choices; break time after this. Stopped out.
