Good entries on the below but terrible exits.
Trade 1: Gap up and flag. Bought the flag break. Sold the first half into the initial pop and moved my stop to the buy price. Had a hard stop on and the stock pulled quickly and took me out of it. Ended up reclaiming.
Trade 2: Flagged again. Bought the break and just sold out too soon again. Literally zero reason to sell here. Need to get the emotions in check. Was down on the day and did not want to take another loss which is no way to trade.
