It looks like you entered your long at 5705 for NQ, and rode it all the way down to 5635 before it came back up. If you have stops, then your stop was over 70 points. Not sure how long someone can survive using stops this wide.
Both SL & targets on chart.
Oh... the red and green lines. At first they simply looked like horizontal level lines since they travel across the entire length of the chart, but now I see the little squares which seem to appear at the same time of the entry. I understand that this trade will still net over 2x the risk, but its extremely gutsy with such a large stop and such a late entry. Also, given the large stop, the fact that its close to the previous low means that a dip just below that low could stop you out. In fact, you came within just a couple of points of being stopped out.

All above is correct. I'm risking 2units on this bet to gain 5. Slightly below my usual x3 reward.
