Further to my previous post regarding Break Even. On your present trade would you move to BE after the price reaches 24282 (i.e. NSH territory?) or sooner?

{quote} haha thanks buddy. I sincerely don't really care as much, because if I take the same setup over and over again, it is impossible to lose money, deviating from my trading plan that is what f*cks me up haha. Psychology is key, especially with daytrading. You also trading today?
Just a small -5 loss. I was waiting to get a good rotation short but I broke a rule and entered on a stronger CD leg so I exited. Now I'm just waiting and watching. Since price broke structure at the brown line and is stuck at that support zone I'm waiting to see what happens.

{quote} We should try to 'fix' our mind, to not see winning as 'good' and losing as 'bad'. Every business owner has costs. See it that way, trying to train our mind to take ' good' trades, whether that be 10 winners or losers in a row, as long as the setup is valid, everything is going to work out, OVER THE LONGER TERM. not thinking days, but weeks / months. Building an empire here, one post at a time everyone together! LETS GET AFTER IT GUYS AND GIRLS.
BRAVO!!!

I got to the BE at 258 as there was structure there and I was up enough on the points

We are all trading roughly the same strategy, but the reason why some make and a lot lose money, is the thing between our ears. So we need to tackle that area first, then the rest will follow.

I could now be like, urghh I need to get out at BE, and another 1000 reasons, but not the one reason in my trade plan, the only rule that matters.

Have a question. how to do partial exits for eg. 1 contract exit on a 2 contract trade

I traded the first swing a little differently since the market has been regularly overrunning the logical stop placement for the last 2 weeks on the 233T.
My stop was just above my last entry, and each of those entries are 1/3rds of my total position, not full positions.

Assuming you have the TP and SL from the ATM on your chart, you can right click your TP line and increase/decrease placement on 1 contract and it splits the line in 2. Or you can setup the ATM to put 2 separate TPs on your chart and place accordingly.

I think that is with the buy/sell button. If you buy 2 contracts, you have to change the lot to 1 contract in the ATM. and then you press the sell button to close 1 contract.

Right click on the chart at the price level you want a enter a sell or buy limit and adjust it to 1 there are youtube videos that show you how to do it.

{quote} The chart below explains the trade. Basically there were clear areas that the sellers needed to defend and they did not. This was my reasoning on my first intraday long I knew this market had a very high chance of going up and the intraday order flow over night was very bullish but it is what it is . I capitalized on the longer term. Let me know is you understand my chart or need further explanation? {image}
Thankyou.

This is very well explained.
