This has been a great trade. zero heat. why allow the possibility of turning a 70+ pt winner into a loser, and not b/e, at the least?
Need to really let these run so that I can occasionally pick up the really big gains with full position on. I don't see anything at the moment that suggests removing the trade. I expect pullbacks etc as we go but that is something that one must endure.--Need to have the big gains to more than offset the losses by a goodly margin.--Also breakeven doesn't correspond to any support level on the chart, so breakeven stop would just be an emotional crutch.
Nice trade. Wish you could have gotten more for the risk level---was there something that prompted you to take profit there?
