After few minutes the price signed new highs giving us a beautiful bullish price action. I have then entered and got a nice almost 2 dollars move for a +10.74$
For capital preservation I have then closed the position independently by what the stock was going to do. In case I would have got a loss back from this trade I would have felt sooo bad!!
I am happy for my action in taking choices but I have to start avoiding the first 5/10 minutes in those days where SPY gave a big impulse and now consolidating!!
I am now seeing better when I should add to my positions. Today I have done it really good. Waited for the second pull back and added 3 shares to the position setting stop loss just few cents above my average price. It worked perfectly.
In case I would have waited at the opening today I would have made an Home Run Trade!!!!
First thing I need to improve my entry at the opening!!
Second thing will be starting closing the position in maximum 5 orders. 15 executions seems to me way too much. Today 2 executions from the first trade + 5 the second + 5 the third.
Total of 12 out of the 15 I have done today. If I would have respected that my profit would have been higher and payed less in commissions! The mistake is taking out a quarter at the third take. At the third I have to take out a half to then have just last piece to close out!! So basically: Out one quarter of position, again out one quarter of position, Out Half and Out Trailed Stop Loss. From 10 it will give me: 2 / 2 / 3 / 3.
I won't have this problem when I will use the proper size ;)
BTW I was forgetting that this trade celebrates trade number 100 since I am using 5/10/20 shares per position accordingly with the stock ATR!!! I have trade up to the 27/11/2019 as a human shit but I changed completely approach then in late November!! Started the journey on the 28/11/2018, it took me more then 2 months to collect 100 trades :D
I HAVE BEHAVED!!
