Setup: Bear flag just under the 50 SMA.
Entry: Thought I spotted an intraday bear flag and the candle ranges were getting tight.
Exit: Should have checked the daily chart for possible support. There was price support around $44.00, and sure enough that's where some buyers came in bringing the price up to my stop.
Of course the third attempt to break $44.00 it cracked. Lost track of the stock being too busy at work.
By the way, I used Google Finance charts today. They're real time, but for some reason only the 2 min chart updates properly showing new candles. It's not ideal, but it's free.
