Man I royally blew this trade. Got in a at a pretty decent position on a bear flag. I was in a meeting and couldn't watch it the way I wanted to. So I sold for a 6 dollar loss. Should of left a wide stop over the flag and let it run. Could of came back to a 40 cent drop when I got out of the meeting.
Instead I tried re shorting it later in the day as it was flagging again. This failed and I got out for a small loss. No reason I needed to lose money on this stock today.
