This stock was gapping up and there was a lot of room to run. I saw a base building on both the 1 min and 5 min chart. I added in a partial when it looked like it was heading towards the breakout spot, and then the other half when it was breaking out. The trade ended up working, but I was a little frustrated with the way I traded this. I had a target of $12.62 and the stock touched it and then came back down. I didn't want to give up my gains, so I sold half. The stock then ran back up and hit my first target spot which I then sold 1/4th and then scaled out the rest.
In hindsight, this was a really good trade. I took profits when I had them, and I let the other half of the position run. I shouldn't be too hard on myself for this trade.
