Awesome play called out in chat.
It's my first time playing one of these bounce plays. Great low risk, high reward setup. I had a target of +.50c on the second half but I wussed out and took it early. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of these setups and adding them to my trading plan. 1:4 risk-reward.. my fav.
1st Half +.20c
2nd Half +.40c
note: taking partial profits have helped tremendously with keeping me in the trade. Now I just gotta have confidence in the setups to hold em longer
another note.. after 9 months of trading I just had a light bulb go off. I drew up a trading plan last month but never really paid much attention to it. Looking at it now, the only time I seemed to make money is when I stuck to the setups in my trading plan. Whenever I deviated from the plan I always lost money...
I think this is the final obstacle to consistency.. Sticking to my trading plan

Man that was such a perfect bounce. I was eyeing it for a swing and like 3 min later I see Kunal post on Twitter that he was in it. Should have followed this one, I was annoyed cause I didn't get my perfect $8.01 entry...penny pinching. Stupid me.
