Stock broke out of flag on the daily. Was strong all morning. Bought the flag in the afternoon and scaled out. Kinda wished I was a little more patient and held the last bit until it broke the 9 ema.

Just curios , where was your stop? It seems like it would have been around the ma(20) near $65. You had a 65.26 average and you need at least 65.52 for a 1:1 risk/reward. also you didn't have any resistance on the 5m until around 65.80 and that would have given you a 2:1 risk/reward.
Sell 1/2 at first resistance and let the 2nd 1/2 ride until you break an ma. I learned this the hard way, you need to maximize profits to be profitable in this game.
