AKAM Trade on Feb 11, 2014 10:30 from EL_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

First entry was in a flag as it pulled back on low volume. Trouble was that it just kept pulling back. Sold as it broke through 9EMA even though it was on low volume, it was my max-loss area.

Second entry was on a flat top break out. Missed my target by a penny then flushed down. Sold as it broke down to buy price.

Not digging these entries.
I don't think the 2nd entry is a FTBO. Either way the 20 was never violated so this could have been a winner

you could have watched for the MAs flattening right after your exit and could have got back in above 9EMA with a low risk
