The stock was gapping down premarket so I was waiting for an intraday setup to develop.
Once I saw a possible flag breakout I have entered the trade believing it could be a squeeze zone play but it went down instead and exited with a biggest loss today.

Had the same problem couple of days ago Wes, now it won't ever happen for me not to set up the stop loss - lesson learned :)
If it would have got back over $6.50. That would have been a better spot to buy because then it would have gotten pass the price resistances.

I got bit yesterday by the same thing. That's why we use stop losses! Good call on getting out.
