Lovely fast move into OR top, managed to pick up 2 lots at 53.75

Scaled out and will call it a day.

Sounds like ur directional feel / feel of context and entry is good, but management letting you down. Happens to all of us.

yeh management bit poor, sometimes too tight with stops, sometimes too loose. but 70% of the trades i didnt need to get in, but as i am trading 1 lot i felt i had to as i was constantly taking it off at signs of trouble, then reentering if it looks like it was going further. So yep - managing the targets better also.

will start back with 2 tmrw.

went short again at 59.75 hope to see 54 again. Open interest is at 50 but just balance here. BE stop
closed at 57 difficult to see it go down.
I was so sure with the behavior of NQ and ticks that we go down to 54-50 oh well
