I didn't quite understand what I saw in this trade. The daily chart isn't very powerful. It tried to fill that gap, and I guess I was expecting it to run into resistance. Either way, this base breakdown didn't have much gas behind it because of the mediocre daily.
Execution detail:
Date/time | Symbol | Side | Price | Position |

2013-12-10 11:57:04 | TRN | sell | $51.940 | short |
2013-12-10 12:13:23 | TRN | buy | $52.300 | 0 |
Yeah, that's why I'm not going to be shorting at the break of the bear flag anymore. I'm going to aim for much lower risk entries near resistance. If I'm wrong, I lose less than my max risk and still get a bigger position than I normally would.
