ACAD Trade on Apr 8, 2016 10:13 from JamesDover_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

This trade was awesome. The stock failed at its 200 DMA and I was looking for a short. The gap filled and forned a bear flag. Once it really got tight I shorted it as a red candle formed. Covered my risk, and the rest later after a huge rip.

Its such a shame that I was down 3 days in a row at this point, so I used only a quarter position size!!! But I've learned that I'm actually having lots of success on intraday flag breakdowns. Perhaps a shift of strategy is in order.
