I went short at $5.14 ,was stopped out at $4.90
Here was my target
$5.14 - 5% = $4.88
Empty
NICE trade!
So glad you traded this short trend with a protective stop.
I have to admit many times I have a winner working, anticipate an UPCOMING trade date or objective, and then suddenly get a move against me and barely reap a profit.
Personally, I am looking for a pullback to moc Tuesday or Thursday to initiate a long.
WHY?
1. Daily and weekly low was Thursday
2. Markets tend to peak/tough day before/after a trading holiday
3. RSI and %R should test lows
4. AND markets tend to retest lows/highs 3 trading days after peak/tough
Perhaps you could grace us with your chart system after today's close.
TIA for your time
I'll post a chart. I base my stops/profits on a percentage move away from the 23 & 30 day EMA.
Nice trade Mike.... the best part of this trade is that it gave a trader 2 chances to get short in the last 2 sessions
