Looking at this trade now, I can see why I took my first entry. It's because it was an ORB flag for a scalp that worked. But on the second entry, I have no idea what I was thinking because that doesn't look like any kind of setup. That loss gave back all of my gains and some. Then I got long for a third time because I considered this a "triple tap breakout" which it is definitely not. It's ugly and I made the setup up in my head.
My plan was to let it flag at the breakout level which was around $3.45 on the daily. If it broke past that then it could have the possibility to run. I made up setups in my head that failed. Also, this stock moved in $0.05 instead of a penny which makes it a bad stock to trade.
