The setup: flag (but not really)
The result: I was chasing, and there wasn't really a flag setup, even on the 2m chart. I caught some of the momentum, then wanted to add some size but added more than I wanted by mistake. This led me to want to get out quickly at the first sign of being in the red, so I sold out for a loss.
The lesson: Don't chase, and if you want to catch the momo, at least wait fora 3 candle flag on teh 2m chart.
