Premarket plan: Following the major trend -4H timeframe-, I can see a minor pullback to the $161.50 key level, and then a breakout above $162.00. On the bullish side I'd wait a pullback to the $161.50 level, that's where I'd take my first entry with a call option, with a stop-loss at the $161.35 breakdown, and a take profit at the $162.00 level. For the bearish side, if at the market open I see a rally on the price to the $162.00 key level, that's where I'd take my entry with a put option, with a stop-loss at the $162.15 level breakout, and a take profit at the $161.50 level. On both sides I have a 3.3:1 risk:reward ratio. If the market moves on my direction I'd take my second entry at the daily open price breakdown/breakout.
Second trade plan: If my first trade doesn't workout and I get out with my stop-loss. I'd take a second entry at the next level of $0.50, placing my stop-loss $0.15 cents below the level of my entry.
Stop-loss: $162.50
Entry level: $162.00
Trail-stop: None.
Take profit level: $161.50 (Non-taken)
Second entry: Non-taken.
Plan respected? No.
What did I do different from my premarket plan? I did not respected my stop-loss.
If I did not followed my plan, what could've or should've I done differently on this trade? I should've take my stop-loss, this way, I'd been positive today.
Comments: I took my first entry too early, and when I tried to cancel it, it was too late. When I enter a trade and it doesn't fill right away, this frustrates me, even more when I take it too early.
