Gap up on the daily that couldn't break the moving averages on the intraday chart. There was no resistance on the daily chart for the short. I bought once it went from Green to Red. I got in way too early at the $81.29 spot and should have allowed the bear flag to develop and play out a little longer. However I didn't hit my stop. I just kept scaling out in thirds and then buying at the VWAP and moving averages. Got out when I needed to get some errands done. This was an easy peasy kind of trade with little risk.

You keep trading live as you did this trade and you will just pay other people to do your errands. :)
Really nice exits that aligned to minor support on the daily chart.
Nah, I'm a mom and wife first so errands kind of keep me grounded and level headed :). I'm not trading live just yet but getting close. Finalizing some things so it won't be long.
