Overtraded this one bigtime, but hey at least both me AND the broker got paid...lol. I started with 300 shares on a nice volume spike out of the initial flag and doubling up on the 2nd volume spike was perfectly timed. My downfall was selling the 2nd half too quickly. That made me feel like I missed profit, so I got back in for the $38 break...which I mistimed several times, then accidentally bought 800 shares trying to set a stop limit order, and finally hit it for a scalp with 500 shares. I did end up making a nice profit on this one but it was not well managed. Should have let the second half run to $38, then scalped the $38 break if I wanted more.

300/800/500 shares
+$280.49 total
