G/R move helped confirm my bias. I would have like to have seen another test of VWAP but it just couldnt get there. Happy with entries, although on a trade like that with a risk just over r/g, my size should have been x5/x10, as I was looking for a retest of yday lows into 4.75's and although chart looked heavy, was expecting a bounce. so 3R in this context needed much bigger size. Pleased with the covers into the .50's. That final add was more of a hope strategy then anything else, covered out the last portion on b/e at 4.64.
To Improve: Position sizing calculation needs to get better, R x max loss should determine position size. if first target is 20-40cents, adjust size accordingly vs a 10-20 cent risk. Adding at major support area is wishful thinking, nothing more. cut that out.
Although entry was good vs r/g, still plenty of room overhead vs VWAP. If playing with size that 90s entry should have probably taken some off at each flush.
Exits - solid strategy into that 4.50 support level, glad i took a chunk off, patience on that move back into resistance at 4.60's. try not to panic, watch tape, watch decreasing volume at that level, confirmation that move higher is unlikely.
