Remove a little more just below the attempt to correct. {image}
I like the way you have managed this back into contention, do you ever consider a breakeven fill in this situation? or will you always look to trail stop instead?
Bulls nor Bears may hide their intent.

Although my reasons for getting in this trade were no longer there and this was no longer a rescue mission situation but a graceful exit, I had to consider my options. there weren't many but here they are:

 

  1. This is an are that the buyers have been buying off of all morning.
  2. The expectation on the main swing however weak is still a NSH.

The only option I had was a graceful exit and see if there was still a chance to compete. So I trailed up on structure to the left securing the graceful exit while still giving the expectation the benefit of the bought. I think I couldn't have done any better here.

The bears should have at least one more attack in mind. at which point and depending on how it looks I might take the long if the RR justifies it.

Having the mental capacity and skillset to follow a trade from entry through to exit and knowing what action is likely to be the best in a given situation is one of the most important trading skills one can learn.

Practise ... practise ... and then practise some more.
