Large range day, waited for a spot where I could put a relatively tight stop. Quick scalp for 14 points using 1min chart. Letting the position run might've been the right move but happy with the gain.
Interested to hear your thoughts on how you would've managed this position / where you would've closed this. My logic was exiting near previous highs since there were many reversals on the 5min chart.
Tried two longs on 5min double bottom but was quick to exit as 1h chart didn't look very bullish. Then two short attempts on 1/2min charts with second one making a profit. Was quick to take profits as my read for the day was trading range. Overall ~6pt profit for the day. Weekly profit target achieved (20pts) so might take rest of the week easy unless have free time and a good setup.
First trade. Made a profit but late entry and early exit. Hesitated to enter the reversal and exited a bit too early. Latter is the bigger problem, have to experiment with trailing stops more this week or setting stop to b/e once at decent profit and letting trade run for 1-3h.
