really liked this setup. 45 was support- didnt short was patient- 45 dropped- let it consoldiate below- got very tight and shorted 3 lots with stops at 45.02 for 2 lots and 45.05 for core. could have even had more size once buyer dropped. covered risk well at 75 cents. covered second lot very poorly- trailed stop above 85 cents then decided to cover into a upmove at 81 cents. target at 50 cents hit soon after. moral of trade- if I trail stop above wick high then stick to it. otherwise cover into a downmove once it slows
stopped out of core- happy with that if it dropped 50 cents i was going to add and was in drivers seat to crush the trade.
