Broke the 9ema so I exited early on the first entry. Also, I gave into the bad impulse of looking at my P/L, so I felt like I needed to protect my profits.

Wow, I didn't see that. Thanks Mark! I've gotten into the habit of setting just before the stock might potentially hit resistance. However, there are nuances that I haven't quite gotten than hang of there.
Honestly, after I exit a stock, I've gotten into the habit of not looking at it again. Still working on minor adjustments to my game.

Great entry. I believe your first sell was too quick as I've noticed most times this pattern becomes a R2G play so that previous high would be a first target. Agree with your thesis of riding the 20ema up, however at the time that intraday flat top broke on some volume so think that sell was good. As soon as bounced back off, why not get long again as that was a clean break of 44.5.
