First I shorted anticipating an orb breakdown. This was terrible, I should have waited for the actual break, which would have had me long on a monster run.
stop: 23.2 stop
covered early bad price action - went up fast after.
Then I tried again on the flag break, this time going long. I waited for a trendline break near 9ema bounce
stop: 25.85 stop
got out when it broke 20ema and prev swing low in consolidation area, also lower highs
Finally, 3rd time was the winner. I tool the all-day trendline break and rode it up
stop: 26.25
scaled some and later closed out so I could go to sleep
