Entered calls right above VWAP, level broke quickly.

Placed an order to exit at break even, order filled and the name consolidated near VWAP before faking out downwards and then a strong up move.

At first glance this looks like a weak exit. However, knowing my RR, I would've been stopped out on the giant red 7:38 candle, preventing me from staying in during the big up move.

I need to be able to identify strong exits not based on what price action does after I exit, but based on some kind of measurable rule or logic at the time of the exit. It's easy to judge a good entry on plays like this. Did you get filled near VWAP? If so, good job. But I need a new way to evaluate the strength of my exits.

Good trade with strong exit, would take again

Lesson Learned: Continue to set your orders early and let price come to you. Don't scramble to try to get an order fill like I used to do. This improvement was the reason this trade wasn't a loser.
