Great little intraday flag break. I missed the first entry at 6.95 talking to Ameritrade tech support, lol, then ironically the same issue I was talking to them about caused me to accidentally sell it all into the first spike. I rebought immediately but for some reason decided it wasn't worth it to hold the "second half" - I think that was mainly just because of the unexpected requirement to rebuy, but I guess it doesn't matter. There was another opp to enter it a few min later but this one moves pretty quick and is hard to get into unless you're stalking it, which I wasn't. Overall a pretty good trade, perfect entry and nice exit w/ pretty solid % gain.

really nice entry, and perfect exits.
the immediate rebuying of the second half is really...weird. and then selling it down there at trendline / MAs / support. re-buying RIGHT after you just sold is usually a bad idea, imo....especially if its at a higher price. I see those around here every now and then!
Well I rebought HALF at the exact price I tried to sell at (ok I was one penny higher) because I meant to hold it, but then I guess I just decided I didn't care anymore. Haha selling it where I did was pretty stupid, as when I rebought my stop was going to be my original buy price (so I would just give back half the profit I made already if it didn't work) but for some stupid reason I wussed out. If I had not had to rebuy I definitely would not have sold where I did, do I really don't know why I did...heat of the moment I guess lol

BTW what actually happened with the accidental sell was I had a limit order set to sell 150 at $7.68, but as the bid hit $7.65 I decided to cancel that order and just sell, so I clicked cancel, hit sell 150 at market, but JUST as I did that the price ticked up to $7.68 before (I guess Ameritrade's slow ass servers) had actually cancelled my limit order, so it executed that, followed by my market order, hence, -150, -150, byebye all my shares. Note there is a 2 second delay between the $7.65 and $7.68 sells. That was the server lag. It's annoying the hell out of me and they keep trying to blame it on my internet connection. Meh
