Daily flag looks great, intraday looks like crap.

Have you tried cutting losses more quickly? Around 10:20am, where there's the big red candle, your pattern is broken. It broke to a lower low; there was no pattern left there. Hope kills the P&L, so I'm slowly learning!

I agree about hope! Unfortunately I can't even remember if I saw this at that point or not. I have a rule I am trying to adhere to about respecting my stops. Usually I move them up when I see action I don't like, and then it goes. And to be honest, my biggest disappointments this week were tightening stops or just flat out exiting early. For swings I have to let things develop instead of turning it into a scalp.

All of my comments are through the eyes of a day trader, so take them with a grain of salt; just pointing out what I see in the charts (another perspective).
