Made a few silly mistakes on this one. My first entry was at 64.97 with a 250 share position and a mental stop at 64.83, just below the 9 EMA. I sold off 100 shares into the first pop at 65.84. As soon as this breakout failed, I should have immediately been thinking short especially after making a monster run yesterday from $57.00 to $65.00. My big mistake was adding my 100 shares back at 65.50 on the 1-2-3 reversal. This was where I should have been exiting and reversing my position. I held on a bit to long but finally flattened the trade at 64.88. The stock made a nice bear flag a couple minutes later which would have been another opportunity to short but I wasn't paying close enough attention at the time.
