I think this is one of the first times I did not quit after winning on the first trade. I shorted with trend and took a scalp win could have gotten much more if I held longer. Shorted again based on my setup. Then finally took a counter trend trade long again with confirmations. 3 winners today no losers. I took a break between trades by playing a Starcraft II game then came back and checked the market. I want to remember how I traded today and do similar on winning days rather then taking more trades on losing days which sometimes causes bigger losses. The good thing about having 2 winners is if I lost on my final trade, I could have still ended the day up.
I felt like an idiot for placing a buy stop above the HOD when there was no significant pullback on the 1-min chart, but I learned long ago that the "idiot feeling" is often an ideal trade trigger
