This trade is like running in a touchdown for the other team. EMBARRASSING!!!! I was so focused on looking for pullbacks that I completely missed the huge beautiful bear flag. WTF! Straight up ridiculousness.

It seems like you made the same mistake I often make-- remember that a pullback is only safe to enter after you have confirmation that the price level will hold.
In other words, make sure you have a candle that confirms that the stock is actually at support. What I tell myself is, "You can either wait 5 extra minutes to confirm support and potentially miss a run -OR- you can enter a stock early and lose a bunch of money."
