I don't like taking chances but I noticed the minor structure (your green line) and a part of me was sure that I shouldn't put my stop there because price would "test my entry" (that's how I like to call this situations) but I didn't want to break my trade management rules.
My logic with entering on pullback against my trigger is that...either way I would've entered the trade because I got a signal ..at least get a better price.

NQ +4.25 Quick bounce off the 113. Chickened out of the following long setup. Screenshot2.png;2165248 {image}
Nice timing with both entry and exit.

I might not survive here yeah got taken for +25 But I needed to protect profit and break rules not because the first trade lost but because this area has good longer term support.

So second trade erased the first lost and gave an extra +5. I'm pleased with that. Next!

Took a short on the NQ (last trade), +43 for the day. (the first two trades are my other method), the last is closer to Mr. Pips (which is def. better)

We are starting to see signs of an oversold market by some breakdown in in the order flow. Projection is weakening and depth is increasing. Decent area to sell but I have to go eat lunch do some groceries and pick up the tiny in school so I might let this pass.

Remember context and who should defend what. In an over sold market the buyers are likely to defend their areas much easier and we need to be careful.

In these situations we can allow the rotation to occur let the bulls defend if they can and see if they look like crap on the defense. Then search for a better priced or equally priced entry as the one you would have gotten. See what I mean. We are smart empowered traders and know where danger is to avoid some traps.

{quote} Reading through most of the post, most of us have to make a choice when price moves favorably with us: 1) Protect the trade by moving SL to BE -> getting stopped out and missing the major move. -> already earned X pips, but giving it back to BE+small pips... 2) closing the trade after making X pips -> then missing out on major move. 3) never moving SL -> and getting stopped out! Of the three options, seems like the first option is still the best. My third trade today was TERRIBLE. Price moved favorably, and I did not shift SL to BE. I went...

Well, in that case, I was too aggressive at moving to BE. Should have gave it a little more room ( one or two candles ). But juriFX was actually right ! the profit was on the other side, so ... good catch.

Then I did two more trades, one that started going favorable to me, but did a U-Turn and good that I manage to close it on profit. Weird, the other trade I did, started going very badly, but ended profitable.

One never knows.

I'd say that one of the reasons is because there are a lot more bars being printed on a 233 tick chart as opposed to a time based chart . To get the same amount of bars on a time based chart you would have to watch a 30 second or 1 minute chart.
I noticed the difference when I switched from spot fx to futures. And I never want to go back to trading time based charts with this method.
