Premarket plan: I can see on $AAPL a mini uptrend inside a Darvas's Box on the major time frames. As today $AAPL has earnings, I have to be very careful and quick cutting losses, or taking my winners. I'd take an entry with a Call Option at the $161.50 level, with a stop-loss at the $161.00 key level breakdown, and a take profit at the $164.00 key level that it has been a very strong resistance for $AAPL.
Projected R:R Ratio: 5:1
Actual R:R Ratio: 2:1
Stop-loss: $161.65 (Non-taken)
Entry level: $$162.00
Take profit level: $ $163.00
Second entry: None.
Trail-stop: None.
Plan respected? Yes.
What did I do different from my premarket plan? Didn't wait for my take-profit target.
If I did not followed my plan, what could've or should've I done differently on this trade? I could've waited a couple of minutes longer, but as I stated on my premarket plan, I need to take my profits fast in this case.
Comments: My entry point was not reached, but as I saw a strong support at $1612.00 it seemed likely that this was a good one. Either way, I was somehow scared and nervous, that's why I took my exit quicker than expected. My take profit target was reached just a couple candles later.
