I traded this stock three different times today. It should have been once. Again on the scale outs.. I chased my initial entry a bit but turned out to be fine.. scaled out for some profit and then rode the rest up. then it started to pull back and I sold.. it didn't hit my new stop, it just hit a MA and bounced... I was scared out cause I didn't want to lose anymore, then very quickly after I had to buy back in as it was going up.. so I lost a small bit of profit between my second sell and the re-buy, but its something I just need to work on.. I guess I had a bit of a reason to sell as it looked like it was crossing down through the MA, but I had already took my profit.. I should have let it go a little more. The other two trades though were ok scale outs with moving the stop up but my entry could have been better.

Awesome trade! Wish I played it as well as the chart was beautiful! Re-adding is something I've been working on as well. I noticed you first bought 1500 shares, then 2000 shares, then 3000 shares. Whats the reason why you added in these position sizes?
