Premarket plan: Following all major trends -4H, 1H & 30m timeframes-, I can see that $AAPL has a very strong resistance/support at the $175.00 level. At the market open I can see a pullback to the $175.00 key level. On the bullish side I'd wait this drop to the $175.00 key level, that's where I'd take my first entry with a call option, with a stop-loss at the $174.85 breakdown, and a take profit at the $175.50 level. For the bear side, if at the market open I see a rise on the price to the $175.50 level, that's where I'd take my entry with a put option, with a stop-loss at the $175.65 level breakout, and a take profit at the $175.00 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: $174.80 (Non-taken)
Entry level: $175.00
Take profit level: $176.00
Second entry: $175.50 breakout
Trail-stop: $175.50 breakdown
Plan respected? Yes.
What did I do different from my premarket plan? Nothing.
If I did not followed my plan, what could've or should've I done differently on this trade? Nothing.
Comments: I was pretty confident on my trade today, $AAPL had a very obvious pattern at the $175.00 key level. I wanted to stay longer, but I always feel very emotional when I stay too long on any trade. Regardless, my plan was respected to the letter and at the end of the day, that's what really matters.
