Failed intraday flag breakout. I bought the break at $41.33 with a half size position since it was an anticipation play. I guess I should have waited for it to confirm above $41.44. I cut it once it violated the 5 min 20sma at $41.05. Lost $42.

You're right. I thought it might have a bit more momentum left but it was just exhausted.

This one would have been a hard one for my to long after being up 30% in 2 weeks without any real entrancement. I would have been looking to short somewhere maybe. Lots of trapped traders.
