Intraday flag break. Really nice entry on this though I was about 10 min early. The first sell was pretty good though I clicked sell at an $8.66 bid and got filled at $8.55 (typical VISN lol). I got aggressive and added that half back when it broke HOD and was able to get most of my shares off at or near the HOD but gave a little back on the 2nd half. I think I need a system for how to handle these add trades. For example when I buy->sell half->add back ... should I be selling half again or selling all into the spike? I was up about $380 on this and could have just dumped it all but by selling only partial into the HOD after adding I gave back about $100 when the last shares faceplanted. Anyway, decent trade overall...original stop in the $11.70s

Now that's the Chris kind of entry i'm talkin about! Nice trade.
I think when the overall market is extended like it has been getting, it's wise to take off bigger chunks on longs and leave a small runner.
