Entered this trade on a break of flag trendline and remount of a pivot level. Once it got going, I used the tactic of selling break of last 5min candle to keep what I could get (fear-driven, which is bad). Had I let the 9ema be my stop I would have taken this right up to my target sell area but that also meant potentially stopping out $200 lower than where I could have bailed had I just taken the move early (fear-driven, PnL driven, bad trader again).

I got stopped out of the only red candle on the way up. I could have scaled out early but the math said at this small of shares and commission rate, I would be happier with what I could get by stopping out of all than risking having to sell the second half at break even.

At the end, poor score for not having the objectivity in this trade (2x fear) but happy with the profits regardless of what happened after my trade (discipline to sell = progress for me).
