Daily momentum flag break. I originally was planning to hold this for a swing but it just shot up like a rocket so I took it all. I did size up at the $4 break later in the day when it looked like it was going to continue, so I would have a sizable position for the swing, but when it didn't go immediately I got the feeling it was going to flush. I was right, so it was wise to exit. Not a bad trade though the entry was quite high. I would normally call this a chase, but the volume that poured in made it pretty obvious that this was going to go nuts, and knowing the stock I was fairly confident taking a small position for a quick gain.
