I took a bad first entry on this stock. The premarket had a flat top where I was anticipating this to pop over and make a spike right out of the gate, but that is not my strategy and not one of my setups. So that right there was a bad trade.
On my second trade, this is the setup I should have been patiently waiting for. It formed a pennant pattern and I got long when this was breaking out. I added when this was breaking over HOD thinking it could move higher, but when it didn't immediately, I bailed and took my profits.
