Ok this wasn't a bad setup but the way I played it was very bad. The setup looked very good, the sma's where riding up underneath the stock and the volume pattern was great. Even though I have been warned to take my profits quickly I decided to hold this stock after it broke out a little and it never did go back up and I was stopped out, all of my shares where not sold because I only had 200 shares to be sold on the stop and I had 300 shares. So i took a bigger lost on this trade. Greed and trading my P&L cost me in this trade. I should have taken my profits more quickly.
