Gapper to new highs, high tight flag, stop under flag and got hit, kept on radar and got some massive buy volume coming in as firmed up. Long again with stop under 9EMA and stopped again.

Here's what i saw at the time that i totally thought was a flag on low volume.

It never showed any real strength when you entered the trade. Notice how small the green volume bars are compared to the red ones after you bought. Stock needed more time to rest from the big run up it just had.

I thought you want lower volume on the flag and the goal is to buy at the apex with a stop under the lower trendline of the flag if violated.
You do, but you don't want red bars lager then the green bars. That's a sign of distribution. Seller in control.
