SWK Trade on Oct 17, 2013 09:44 from TheCAG_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Shares traded: 2000
Closed P&L: +$277.50

Went in twice.

First Entry
Setup: Flag Breakdown
500 Shares
In at 75.84
Target: 75.54 (Day's high at the time)
Stop: 75.94
~3:1

It broke down past my target and I sold 1/2 at 75.51
At 74.80 I sold the rest.

Second Entry
Setup: Flag Breakdown
In at 74.55
Target: 74.05
Stop: 74.61 (Day's high)
Got stopped out.

Thoughts
For the second entry I should have sold at 74.30ish mark, when it started turning up, but I got greedy and gave back some profit.
