I was using CSIQ and TSLR to anticipate the move in this stock; I never noticed how they move damn near the exact same way. I shorted and closed my position too soon. I thought that since it didn't make the same move of the others that it may just continue in a range. But now I know.

Remember round numbers are major resistance/support level; so when a stock break above or below, it can really get moving with the proper setup behind it.
In this case you see when $29 bear flag broke, it flushed hard.
Once dropped back below that 29 was the place to re-short with same stop as before.
I had to cut out early. I had my work sked changed to Fri-Mon 1400-0000 so I could trade during the day. Mon's and Fri's are my trading half days
