This is my first ever live trade. My only objective was to exit it profitably. Shorted when it cleared a bear flag. Sold a nerve-racking 10 min later. My first exit target officially was at 20.8, but I just had to sell when I saw green. Worst exit ever, but it served its purpose and I loosened up a little (just barely) to trade better - but still was very cautious today. Hopefully it only gets better from here.

Great entry for your 1st ever live trade! Only thing you have to do now is cover into the flushes

Great short entry, you had that for a nice gain. Sell in partials just like you did in practice.
