  6. trailed at break even as I'm gaining $70, it's a little early actually, I used to trail at break even when the trade is at least at +$100

    comment:

    I started shorting after the good data in premarket, the market went straight up to some nice resistances on multiple symbols.
    I was up $95 with the first trade but closed it with a little loss, I tried again as also Europe went to good resistances, but with a tight stop this time as I wanted to trade the open with a little loss.

    I shorted after a few minutes on the same area full of resistances with a stop of $45, the maket went down and the trade was up more than $250 at a certain point but it took lots of stopes and rebounded, I took profit on the rebound and reversed the position but put the stop immediatly at break even and the market took my stop.


    I will post the week results and comments during the WE.
