Candle data — where these bars came from

It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay BINANCE's — and the chart says where the bars came from.

  3. 21:33

  4. It's going against me and I'm nervous. I just pulled my stop back to give it more room. That's the rule I keep breaking and I know it. I'm doing it anyway, which is silly.

AfteriHindsight — kept apart from what you knew at the time.

  1. Thu 1 Oct · 03:36
  2. Closed 62578.2 · closed by hand

  3. Could not accept being wrong, widened the stop, and paid double. The first stop was the right one.
  4. 03:42

  5. Stopped out, and it would have been a small loss if I'd left the stop where it was. Moving it cost me about double. The setup was fine, the execution was not. Next time the stop stays put, full stop.
