Shorted this light gapper as it popped into its MA's. Had arguably the best entry, but again sold it too soon. I really tried to hold on to this one! I had absolutely no viable reason to sell it whatsoever. Maybe I should try to switch to 10 minute charts for the lotto, but I still don't think it would help.
Prodigio told me that I had an unrealized P:L of $113. But it lied and I only had $57. This was probably the reason I sold it (hit my daily goal), but its not a good reason even if it were the case. I missed a $3< rip literally minutes after I covered my lotto. The lotto itself wasn't important to me, its the concept of letting the winners do what you thought they would do in the first place.

Nice entry. Yep, that Prodigio can be a liar. :)
