After my shorts were rejected, this seemed like it was going to go up with a lot of strength. I longed durring the flag, but not quite close enough to support. It dropped briefly below the EMA and I stopped out, then it ran.

It never broke trend. No reason to sell. Higher highs and higher lows.

Right, but I wasn't there! I had to put a stop on it, and by the time I came back to my desk it had stopped and then run. I think the key that I have been seeing over the past couple of days is that I need to use a lower size and looser stops when I can't be around to closely watch a position.
