I was looking for the turn around, it seemed to moving up and appeared to pullback to the ma's I bought and it tanked. Not sure what I missed on this. Please let me know your thoughts.

I was watching this today for a bounce as well. This wasn't the cleanest flag. That red candle was way too big to buy on. you want a flag more like this http://prntscr.com/3eqmsa
No setup was there. After the big move from the open, stocks need time to consolidate to build strength for the next move.
Idea was ok but it seems u bot the bounce off 20ema/3 min. Now after you bought , one it broke below that 20ema/3 min again. U should have gotten out as the setup is over.

It looks like you were trying to play this as a red-green move. I usually treat the previous close as pretty significant resistance, so for me I wouldn't go long on a red candle like that after it went green. I would wait for confirmation. If you were looking at this as red-green I would also have had my stop higher. Don't know if any of that helped.
