First short was on an unconfirmed dead-cat bounce into the MA. Tiny little volume bars straight into MA, failed to break the 20EMA, bought as it started to break down. Instead, went straight up and got stopped out before breaking down as expected. Too many shares (too-heavy).
Shorted in the bear flag. On lunch when filled, but only had one LMT stop set so I missed my second target.
Added to short position as it bear flagged into the MA. Went crazy when it broke support.
