Saw a flag breakout on the daily chart. Bought into an intraday flag pattern. Got 300 shares at S15.66 each. Sold half at $15.72. I changed my stop to my entry price but accidentally only set it to sell 100 shares. I ended up getting stopped out of those 100 shares and ended up having to sell the last 50 shares manually at $10.64. Should have sold all my shares into the spike. A deeper pullback/ longer consolidation hadn't occurred yet, and, with the huge price movement at the open, I shouldn't have expected price to move up higher without a more fitting pullback.
