I really liked the daily chart on this stock and was anticipating a big move today because there was some volume that was picking up. It spiked in the morning and then started to pull back. I started my position on the pullback on the 1 min chart. I then added when I saw this stock forming a flat top flag. I was anticipating this stock to breakout big because of the base breakout pattern on the daily, and the flag/base breakout intraday. I sold half when I started to lose confidence in the setup because it was taking too long and started to look weird. I then got stopped out the rest when it broke down and the breakout failed.
