- Did not protect >50% profit
- Let another trade affect my perspective on current trade
Overview: This was as clean of a trading day/week as I’ve ever had. I went in with a thoroughly mapped out game plan, executed the moment a planned opportunity presented itself, traded the style I’d planned and walked away green. There are considerations for how I can improve, but as far as mistakes, there were no considerable ones that I can discern. Maybe my exit for my first trade on ORCL. Perhaps it was a mistake to let it be influenced by my standing on the second trade. Perhaps every trade should be executed in a vacuum to best execute clean trades. In that case, my exit—though it was informed by my profitable status on my second trade—could have been a little cleaner, I could have protected more profit.
