Bull flag setup, pulled back to the 9EMA. Place my buy at the break of the previous candle high at 8.30. Then the next candle topped at 3.29 also. Then the following candle topped at 8.28. I kept my buy at the break of 8.29, entry at 8.30. Then it broke. Got in at 8.30. Split my position into two 1000 share stops at 8.20. When it popped up though 8.40, I moved one of my stops up to 8.40. Then it jumped to 8.50 so I moved canceled that stop and placed a limit at 8.50. Mistake. 300 shares sold at 8.50 and then it pulled back. This is when TOS started to freak out. I cancelled the order at 8.50 (the remaining 700 shares of that order) and tried to place a stop right below the current price. I wouldn't do it. It kept saying that the order would make my position short and there were no shares to go short. I cancelled all my orders and tried to place new orders, I got the same result, error. WTF! With the price moving pretty quickly but luckily hanging above 8.40, I cancelled all orders and just hit the Flatten Now button. It closed my position at 8.398. Not sure what happened, but it worked out in the end.
