  1. Target was in fact hit, should have left trade alone, after having money at risk, its much harder to do analysis correctly than before entering the trade. Still overall I don't feel that bad considering I was not going to trade today but then went to market, and spent money and then thought to myself, I am spending money on the weekend, I really would not mind trying to earn some money. My thought before entering the trade was I that I would only 1 trade today, and if it did not work out, would just trade on Monday normally rather than revenge trading or doing something stupid. Other issue for me killing the trade early was that I thought I might be going out later to see a movie, but that did not in fact happen, and my concern was not being near my computer.

    Now that I think about it, I could have just left the computer on while I was away since everything was automated anyway.

    System is good if I just leave stuff alone after I enter trades. I realize I used to do better by having trades go off overnight, and then get up and see if I did well or not, but the problem is that this means I placing trades without verifying setups which can only be done in real time by watching the charts. I had 2 confirmations for this trade long. I reduced contracts since it was Sunday, and did not know if we would have enough volatility to move the market.
