Buy on ftbo/flag break. First sell was a mistake (wrong order type). Re-added to position in flag as MA rounded underneath. Sold into spike/previous resistance. Sold as it rounded through support. Scratch trade.

I did a similar thing. It really looked to me like LVLT wanted to go, I believe I ended up flat just like you.

When I see a stock that has already had two pull backs after a huge runup I count them as a loss and move on. Around that time you can definitely find better trade setups.
Also, you don't necessarily have to make any trades. Intentionally let a few slide from time to time, unless it is presenting the perfect entry tailor-made to your desires.
