The first was a mini flag after the stock pulled back a bit. Good entry and sold into the breakout. Cut down on my sizing because of the volatile action. The second trade here looks like a second breakout flag. I got antsy and the volume was low so I set a smaller stop and a lower target. I got out at my target and the price shot up to high of day at $15.88. Should have kept my original target of $15.69. Still not a bad trade. I did not take a big size because I was not sure how well the second flag would work after the stock had pulled back a bit. I think because of the low float, the action on the stock today is actually pretty fast. Will look to short it if it breaks HOD again ($16 level). The last entry was bad. I chased it a bit and should have had more patience to enter below $15.10. It worked out ok, volume was low so I just took the profit on a small spike up.

Agreed. I nibbled way too much. Still feeling my way around especially the faster moving stocks. Thanks for the feedback, Kunal!
