The stop loss was placed correctly above the pinbar high - however the target should have been 4x atleast (easily, as is now apparent in hindsight, but hindsight is not a tool!) was a result of growing chicken feet. So yes I was risking 4 bucks to make 1 but that was how it was.
Thanks for stopping by!
Correction: iqdog -> iqgod LOL
As to stop losses I had mental stop losses as you can see from following the posts that only 60% trades were winners and others were calmly closed at their mental stop losses. (which was a good thing, because I had a long bias and the market went down a cliff for a bungee jump)
"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."
Thanking @liquidcci for that summary that succinctly describes it all!
