  4. I closed the trade at only +$35

    it seams I missed a good trade, anyway I'm happy that my lines worked, I closed the position only because I was scared of the slippage if the news was negative and the price would have go under 2400 after the news (lots of stops there).

    I had supports on YM-ES-NQ-DAX-FDAX-FESX

    end of trading day for me, I place my trades only when the european market opens and when WS opens, I try to let winners run when possible, so today I stop here.

    comment:

    I was up $165, but I did not take profit of trailed, I don't regret anyway, the low of the day was close and the market could have broken down, anyway I don't feel bad, 2 years ago I would got crazy and made disasters.

    need rules with targets and trailing.
