Trade Comments:

  • A bit too early in the move
  • 50 was a logical resistance area
  • 1k position at the moment at the higher end of the spectrum
  • Average of 49.73 decent, but did not trust price action
  • Solid drop shortly after my covers
  • In hindsight an A-setup with risk towards 50 (also reistance on daily)
  • Picture perfect A frame, hindsight is bliss
