Why did you pay three commissions to capture 2.5 pts when your initial entry and target gave you 3 pts with one commission?
I know I sound snotty with this post, but when you put on a trade with a target and there's no reason to exit the trade, why not hold for your target (or better)?
XXXOOO
My target was arrived from betting on a gap fill which did not materialize.

Patience takes time to master.
Because it feels good to ring the register.
This is why I advocate scaling out to satisfy instant gratification while leaving some on to run if you are correct about the trade.
Lets see what the T-day boyz can muster up for us today!
Probably.
Im trying to wait for a bargain, personally.
It could easily just ramp up here though meaning I may have to chase it later on.
We'll see.
Good luck all.

Starting the day with a gap fill today @ 1315? Might be a nice long entry if support holds.
At least that's what I would be anticipating and potentially trading if I did not write this from my smart phone on a construction site =)
Good trading you all.
