Play: Flag

After two failed attempts at the short side, it looked ready to squeeze. When it held, i got in for a break of 14. Had no reason at all to sell, not good discipline. Was frustrated on the short side that i hadn't taken the quick scalp so i took it here but left money on the table. Need to be more patient than 10seconds. That is unrealistic trade. Won't go far with this.

Reasons to sell: scalp, no patience

I see only a perfect day long flag to the long side. http://screencast.com/t/pOJnFapj

Maybe this isn't true for you, but I sometimes look too hard into the details that i miss the obvious pattern.

You are definitely right! I was looking too close and wasn't seeing the bigger picture as you said.
