Assumption:
Flat top breakout on daily. Since it looked like it would get extended, I expected it to fall by the end of the day or the following day.
Play:
1st entry - intraday flag, bought on confirmation. Set a pretty tight stop.
2nd entry - intraday flag again, bought again at confirmation of breakout
Outcome:
1st - hit stop
2nd - tried again on confirmation of flag. Scaled out

Is Kunal referring to 2nd play being perfect?
The 1st attempt looked like a chase, but the 2nd is gorgeous. Nice job re-assessing.
