I really wanted to short this at 18 due to my strong gut feeling that the stock was about to tank, however, I did not really see a setup and would of had to have a loose stoploss so I waited and hit it on the bear-flag at 16.75. I sold all my shares at 16.03 because I hadn't figured out how to scale out in Prodigio yet; Thanks again Daranee S. for that help with the for mentioned problem.
I believe I hit this fairly well and was happy to beet my daily goal of $200 in 40min with my first trade!
Improvements:
1)Did not have my risk for the trade properly set and took 500 shares just because I felt like it. In the future I need to stick to my trading plan!
2)Scale out in 1/2s, which I now know how to do!
