Trade Comments:

  • Really happy about this trade even though people might think it was luck
  • Set-up worked nicely actually
  • Tried the 240 USD stock especially to play with position sizes and try different levels
  • Stock to 1% add rule and had a hard stock of 238
  • In the end, only a 50 cent gain per share
  • But it was really good practice for me ... sizing, implementing rules, having a stop
