Unfortunately I made a couple of errors on this trade. I undersized it so I didn't get the full bang for the buck, plus I cut the profits early instead of waiting for a 5' pivot. Managing it to spec would have meant taking 1/3 1R target (reached) then holding 2/3 for the remaining move (if any). Instead I cut 2/3 just prior to 1R and then trailed the stop on the final 1/3 aggressively as well. Missed out on several Rs of PNL due to that choice.
