Last trade of the day. Emanuel stopped by and I had to kick Basti off the line. I wanted to give it one last shot for th day on my own. Again mixing up strategies. But not being aware of that at that time.

FB came back to retest the 166 level where it found and had support prior.

FB respected 166 and formed a small candle. I used the break of highs for an entry and on intention for a move higher.

I took off half when I saw it stall at .20 for 8ct. Good call.

Then I messed up by mixing strategies. Instead of taking off the trade break-even as this approach suggests and then re-evaluate, I left the rest on in "hope" for a higher low and retest of 166.

It happened what usually happens and why I give these on my other strategy so much room. 166 broke to test .90, stop me (and many others) out, just to lift and bounce.

My stop out caused a green trade go red. I mean, that was fine, lesson learned.

All in, all out. All in, 50% out, rest break-even if no follow through. Fair enough. Re-evaluate and re-enter. Here that would be a lift of 166 to the upside, but I did not as I did not want to overtrade and I had a guest. Good to call it a weekend and take off the mind from trading.
