I shorted this on the break of that flat bottom which was where the stock went Green to Red.
The last cover was unfortunate because it dropped a lot soon after. I got stopped out because I put my stop right above the trendline that I drew down since 11am. It popped over it just for a second. I think that my thinking was good on the stop, but maybe just slightly too tight.

If it would have gotten over this level http://screencast.com/t/xWjnbpoglD that is when you should have consider covering as that was a key level of resistance.

Wow, so close (10 minutes) to the big flush. Still a good trade though.
