Went long on bar 1 outside bar. Risking 9 for 4. Reversed on failure for the sound reason that a failure to retrace back to the opening trading range would mean that it was a breakout pullback to the downside.
Tried for 9 ticks, couldn't even get 4.
On the channel up, I was looking for a second entry short because we broke a bull trendline from yesterday and I was looking for a test of the extreme. On the way up, if I had been looking for an H1, like I should have, I would have made 4 ticks.
Second entry short materialized into the best trade of the day. Still, it was not a "best trade" and I was not there to take it. The rest of the day chopped.
I got my butt handed to me.
