  1. Okay. Moved my stop to 1008.

    I also have moved it up to BE now that the trade went in my favor. What is your opinion on this (when you get a minute)

  2. Okay...since you went long at 1009, and you had 4 ticks at
    risk(1008), now that the market has reached 1011(twice your initial risk) raise your stop to BE and set a profit objective
    at 1012 for a 3-1 reward/risk trade.

  3. Just for the record, my target was hit at 1011. I saw a sell signal.

  4. Okay, that's fine if your initial risk was 4 ticks. Because then you
    just got a 2-1 reward/risk trade. Which is okay, but 3-1 would be better.

    But, if your initial risk was 8 ticks for a 1-1 reward/risk trade. Then,
    that wasn't a good trade. I know it sounds crazy to say making
    a hundred bucks wasn't a good trade, but this is a numbers
    game. And 1-1 doesn't add up.
