Pulled back after ORB then recovered back up above VWAP. Bought with confirmation above VWAP. Target 11.65, stop at 11.10. Ran up a lil bit, missed the peak for scale out and pulled back QUICKLY. Stopped out.
I think it was a somewhat valid setup, but poor management. I should have scaled out when it stalled at peak.

looking at 5 min chart..I feel best entry was between 10.0 and 10.5, it formed a flag after a pullback,and I also see flat top. I also see opportunity for shorting on this one after lunch time.
Yes, that would have been best entry point, but it was under all resistance (VWAP, 9EMA,20MA). I prefer to wait until it has some sort of support before i buy. I get myself into alot of trouble when i try to just anticiapte whats going to happen. I like confirmation.
It's risky to buy it when it is vertical on Daily, as a rule that works for me. if the stock went vertical for 3 days, I definitely don't buy it and probably looking for short. Also try to be fluid with the news there were negative comments intraday that added risk to the trade.
I covered short where you got long, It made sense to go long there but not very favorable.
