Just for fun and part of testing a new strategy, I`m taking a sim trade overnight:

Short @ 1329,50. Limit buy @ 1323. Stop @ 1332,50

Stopped out on a spike. Re-entered just now @ 1329,50. Stop @ 1331,50 where I will reverse and go long.

Target is still 1323, but might trail this one.

Strong support around 1327. Exit @ 1328. Might short if 1327 breaks.

New short @ 1326. Stop @ 1327.

Stopped out @ 1323,50. Taking some time off now.

Lesson: I should have trusted my initial target, but I find it hard not to micromanage when I`m seated at the computer.

Taking profits and getting back in feels nice though, so it might still be the right thing for me to do. More testing is needed
