First day on Prodigio after switching from ThinkOrSwim. Made an incredibly stupid mistake: hit "sell" instead of "buy". Realized my mistake just before the second candle.

Bought on intraday flag as it hit the 9 ema.

Thanks Kunal! I'm becoming more and more comfortable with the material you taught us. My biggest mistakes are being caused by human error and emotions.

Nice entry, i think this is a positive loss (as contradictory as that sounds). Looked like a bear flag ready to roll, great tight stop as just didn't play out.
Only thing i can see using hindsight is on daily chart that day was a Flat top Breakout and pullbacks have been working after strong moves up.
