Problem with stop at 76 is that it is likely you would have been high ticked. Best to get out and back in in those cases. There was a chance to sell again as it crossed 60 to the downside the third time. You got it - did you take profit?
I hesitated at the "get back in " part, right around 82.55. Booking a nice profit today and got protective all of a sudden.
Well I jumped in for you @ 55 and I was shocked my 5¢ stop didn't get taken out. got out at peak volume for +21
Shame, this looks like it will keep sliding. Not to worry - just carry on booking nice profits each day and soon there will be no hesitation.
Calling it a day with CL, +$426. Best trade today was an ES momentum trade during the selloff, 2 lots short @ 1194.50, covered 5 mins later @ 1188.50 for +592. I attached my blotter for timing, but I think I called my trades pretty close to real time, except the early scratch trade, no time to post.
Good trading. I don't understand the first CL trade though. A brain fart? Don't ever sell in that location. No trade there.
Shorted when price pulled back from a lower high through the 20MA, but exited b/e when there was no follow through. I need follow through out of narrow ranges or I'd rather bail and re-evaluate.
