Relatively poor trade, in a relatively choppy zone and trepidation kept me from getting in at earlier point, though there was reasonable justification to do so. Did well to look at the charts on multiple time frames, but this was still a risky trade as I was against todays trend, though it did seem to be petering out and that was the impetus for the position I took. Multiple wicks at level & on 1 minute time frame (the price action on which has seemed to consistently adhere to TAST patterns). I got in on the break of the 3940 level, then followed the trade down, it broke through the next $5 level (3935), at which point I moved my stop to just above this level. It broke down almost touching 3930 but then rebounded and took my stop out. What I did well was risk management but there were better trades to take, & although this worked out well enough, trading against the larger time frame trend is generally dangerous.

Filling this second trade out after the fact, but came back into the market after seeing it to continue to go up & feeling some fomo if I remember correctly. Got in on break of 3970 level, got in late, but after the break of the next $5 level I moved my stop to just below it, not wanting to risk any profits from earlier in the day. Got taken out for near break even level, but added a small boost of profits to what was already a lower profit day.
