Nice P/B on daily to B/O area and bounce. Intraday ripped up and Flagged on low volume allowing 9MA and VWAP to catch up. Long with stop of -.50 (under 9MA and Vwap). Target +.75 (intraday highs), and +1.50 for next leg up. Massive sell volume poured in right after i entered and out over -.75 with slippage.

It was worth a shot. I guess the only thing you could have done is wait for some confirmation of the flag break; however, I often feel like I'm chasing the stock when I wait for price action to confirm.
Good stuff Kunal, it always seems so obvious after the fact to me. Great points. I need to be more aggressive in buying the Pullbacks with stop under instead of chasing a HUGE gap up. Thank you.
And a few people have pointed out the no PR/news and i've been leaving out that one catalyst which is huge as well.
Ouch, seen this today in my trading. I have been keeping stops tight and trying to add pr to my trades.

nO pr. or catalyst. huge gap in markets that stalled out the same time. this is a fade spot
look at the way u described ur setup. u siad it was a breakout pullback play. well the breakout/pullback spot is at 142.6s-143.
think about ur r/r ratios too on daily.. stock bounced big from 142 and it full target is 148 so u got max 1.5 on daily with 5 bucks intrday... its a tricky trade one often worth taking but still some red falgs
