Play: Flat bottom
It was tapping the LOD, MA's over it, took it as 44 seemed to be key. Got out a bit fast. I was a bit worried of a bounce coming as it was already down quite a bit and this is still a choppy market. However, 2nd target was 43.6 and sold before. No real reason to have sold. Once again, patience, patience and patience!

Thanks! and I agree, I personally prefer to take quick profits in this market but it is still a 45$ stock so IMO, 30cents is the minimum for a stock that can move that much. And there was no reason to sell at 43.70 when my 2nd target and more was reached. It is just a lack of discipline and following my plan for this trade.

Nothing wrong with taking profits, and in this market stocks are swinging pretty quickly... nice job!
