Two trades, one loss and one small profit.
First trade
Setup on daily: PR Breakout
Setup intraday: not sure...
Reasons to enter: price dipped below 9EMA and I thought the uptrend was over.
Concerns: none.
Stop: $20.97 ($0.12 from entry).
First target: $20.73 ($0.12 from entry).
R/R 1:1 - not good.
Second trade
Setup on daily: PR Breakout
Setup intraday: Day-long Consolidation Breakout
Reasons to enter: price breaking highs.
Concerns: none.
Stop: $21.05 ($0.20 from entry).
First target: $21.45 ($0.20 from entry).
R/R 1:1 - not good!
I always do the same mistakes when trading Day-long Consolidation breakouts. I need to try to buy on dips instead of shorting on the dips.
