Long 1124

target EMG-forever

Stop already moved to be (was 10 ticks)

Stop trailed to 1126 and stopped out

---

Getting back in the game, a bit jumpy and with my head still not 100% focused

---

But poor trade management on my part; I should have either held for my original (or close) target or taken the "free" "instant" 3 points that the market showed me.

Still, don't want to be too hard on myself :)

For one reason, you just got stopped out.

For another, previous HOD was 1134.25, so we went a couple of ticks above it then reversed. Just enough to run the stops before heading back down.

I was wondering if there was a technical reason (other than greed, which is fundamental) that you changed what turned out to be a valid target.

So you got stopped out of the original trade at 1125, which was B/E, after you had a nine point winner in hand. You reentered at 23.25, which may or may not work.

I took the short at 11:20 on a setup I got on the 5 min chart, and have held despite the trade going against me for 6+ points. My original target was 17.00, but I tightened it to 20.25 as there is good S at 20.0.

One of us will be right, maybe both, we will see soon enough...
