Range break
No setup really
Loss
Tried for range break twice but the bid ask spread was too much for me and I got stopped out twice.
Finally took off but I was jittery by then and missed the good run-up.

Nape_BOWS I need a great trade to start the day. If one or two don't go my way then it makes it harder to stay in a trade when it is finally ready to go.

I understand. At times I find myself making the same mistakes, when my first two trades of the day go wrong.
I have been trading under Kunal for a year, but I have been missing around with stocks since 2006 but never had to proper guidance until I met Kunal.

It was consolidating making higher lows. You needed a looser stop, it never broke the trend. If the spread is wide go smaller on your position size then scale in more shares when you notices strength.
