I think we will see 64 today, maybe a good idea to increase your target.

out 56.25 for +1.25 ... did not expect it to stop as it did at 57... oh well better than nothing.

possibly true, but I must trade what I see. 1 tick failed breakout, volume enters at 57 and it immediately goes back down, below 50% ... will just have to re-enter long if it goes up. but trying to take profit where i see it. I've had too many days spoiled recently because my hope kept me in a trade longer than my brain should have allowed...

Fair enough, I was thinking of a big one here, and I could be wrong of course.

Actually your style of trading is pretty interesting. With small stops, if you can have a lot of scratch trades and manage to sneak in few big wins, your equity curve will look very smooth, even if you get stopped out 30% or so times for a 1 point loss. Just thinking.
