This should have been a much better trade than it was. I feel like this was a "gimme" trade and I made errors all throughout. I missed the initial run as I was late but I had this as one of top picks on my watchlist. I entered on a pullback/flag but got scared as it went sideways a bit. Thinking it had topped out I exited, down a few hundred bucks. But of course the flag brokeout and needless to say I chased it. I overtraded the hell out of this thing. I was up $800 at one point after making up my $300 loss from earlier.
I had some decent entries and exits in the beginning although should have let my initial position playout. I need to be more confident in what I'm seeing. I believe I was a little beaten down from my huge loss earlier in the week. I kept adding when I shouldn't have and I was getting greedy by letting my positions ride too long. I left a lot on the table here.
