Waited for intraday setup in the afternoon. Took the trade when flag got broken and stock broke 50DMA at $22.50 on daily chart. Volume came in for only one candle and then faded. Got stopped out at my stop loss. I also failed to notice that there was resistance at $23 that's shown on the daily chart. Was no longer trading late afternoon due to work to catch the run-up in the last hour.
