Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from

715 bars from BINANCE at 5m, captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers.
Mon 19 Oct, 16:55 to Thu 22 Oct, 04:30

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

Timeline

BeforeiWhy you took it, written before you were in it.

  1. Wed 21 Oct · 11:26
  2. Opened 3270.31 · Short · stop 3312.01 · target 3198.47
  3. Retest held, entering with a stop below it. Should be a quick one.

  4. Plan Range reclaim

DuringiWhile it ran. Notes here are stamped and cannot be edited.

  1. 12:36
  2. Moved the stop to 3370.38 · further out
  3. 14:15
  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. 19:55
  2. Closed 3282.69 · closed by hand
  3. Price hit my stop and I moved it further away because I was sure it would come back. It did not. Small loss became a big one.

  4. 20:01
  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.

Something to add to this trade?

Stamped with today and added to the end of After. What you wrote when it closed stays exactly as it is — that is the version worth keeping.

    Logged this by mistake?

    The trade stops appearing everywhere in the journal. The row itself is kept, so if you delete the wrong one the trade and everything you wrote can be brought back from the database.

    The 2 recordings and pictures on it are removed from the server for good. Those do not come back.
