This one was real ugly, should have waited a little longer to wait for conformation of the break upward.

What was the setup that you were entering on in the 1st setup? If you were anticipating the really nice flag break, then your stop was just too tight http://screencast.com/t/3O9WdqfyoS
Then you missed the real move of 7ish percent, or 30 bucks.

One thing that may help is to be mindful about the percentage of a price move rather than the absolute dollar amount. Like in this case, all your exits were 1/3 to 1/2 of a percent move.
