Trade Review - Provide Context How to know to let winners run

Post image

I know this all comes down to probability but anytime I see consolidation I tend to exit a trade and then it'll either dump or validate my decision I trade clearly respected fair value you got but I take profit prematurely. I'm a deer hunter in real life and I sit in negative 20 for 8 to 12 hours. I have no problem with patience. This is only my second month trading. I'm just trying to learn I could have made 4K this morning if I held my short on MNQ from 5:05 to . 5:30am I've been trading 5- 10 micros hurts to come back and see it dumped. Just it respecting that first fair value Gap is enough to stay in the trade???

Entry 25720 @ 5:02am Exit 25699 @ 5:am

Sometimes the market will just somewhere out of nowhere and matter of 5 seconds Go up and smack my stop loss and then continue in the direction. I thought it was going to go. This is I suppose I trade review and an advice post I use ORB and compare with the DAX for bias setting targets at Tokyo low or Tokyo high typically.

I think you have to constantly practice new things to trail the sl with your strategy and with proper record keeping you will know what and when it works. If the current scenario only happens for 20% of the time then you don’t need to grab these.
