Took 3 trades. All of them are in order.
Why I took a trade: Overextended on daily. Plan was to short pop at open and use previous day levels as resistance.
Why exit: Honestly, I saw green and sold. I had no price target so chickened out.
Hindsight thoughts: Uff, what a nice breakdown. Should’ve kept half for that nice selloff.Why I took a trade: Mount/Under VWAP trade.
Why exit: Got scared again. Covered while in money. Looked like it was going to hold MA’s and go green for the day.
Hindsight thoughts: Right Idea, exit was way too early.Why I took a trade: Pullback to resistance.
Why exit: Though it was making bull flag. Got shaken out while making paper profit.
Hindsight thoughts: Another early exit trade. Need to be more patient when trade is working and let it pan out little longer. My stops were in good spots, so no reason to sell early.

Key words in your "hindsight" comments... reasons2exit. Really important to have a list that works for you that you can adhere to, rather than trusting you'll do the right thing under duress.
