MBT

I was only about 1.2 pips into profit when price turned on us, so I figured that wasn't enough to move to BE.

Long, out at +1

For those who use MT4, the issue with the tight StopLoss can be solved by choosing an ECN broker, which allows to use any SL you want (even within the spread). Just demo-ing this method so far, but I have changed broker just for this reason, otherwise it's almost impossible not to loose a few pips each day!

Well, if this ever did catch on and a ton of orders hit the boards, it would make sense that market makers/movers would start stop hunting us.

I don't think we're anywhere near that point yet though. We're currently in an uptrend, so there's alot of buy pressure right now. Going short at the moment is going to be inherantly risky.

I entered same place as you and noticed that...

It could be that the first decent momentum move taken price down then its like a retrace before falling again...I've noticed that price seems to come back to test the first momentum move not long after the open a few times recently.

Yes quite true... I am in fact on the long side as part of my trend following work so being short didn't really feel great to me anyway!
