It looks like ot me wihtout seeing the actuall chart you traded that you took a nice chuck out of the middle you should be congradulating your self on two successful trades. I use to feel that way and sometime still do where I get worked up about the lost potential in a trend becasue I was stopped out or closed prematurely. Yes there are ways to help increase that level of profit from a trend. If I see that what I exited from was a small rest insted of a directional change in the trend I look for resistnace points to be broken as add on signals. this way I can get back in and ride the trend some more. I feel good if I can take some where between 25% to 50% of a trend. If I get more form time to time Then that is great too. I just have to keep reminding myself when I start getting that trend envy that there are plenty more trades to get into tomorrow. Hope this helps.
