The overall trend for the last few hours was down and was nearing the top of the band. I didn't jump in on the first red candle and waited for the retest this time. Set a 20 pip take profit level because I needed to attend a meeting, but my original thesis was that a double top was formed and it could continue to drop another 40-50 pips (which it did), but played it safe since I couldn't be in front of a screen.

This was my first live Forex trade. I was too anxious and didn't wait for a retest which resulted in a bad entry price. The trade went 2 pips over my stop loss before going in the expected direction.

Lost the EMA days ago and should have protected profit sooner.

Started out as a vertical spread but changed the strategy to maximize the dip. Option contract has plenty of time, so I should be able to profit on both sides of the trade that will be greater than holding out the spread.

Profitable, but following rules would have protected a lot more of the profit.

Should have followed rules and protected profit.

Lost EMA several days ago and should have protected profits sooner.

Trimmed some profit during a short-lived spike on SPAC. DA in place. Still waiting for the merger date.

Continuing to test options strategies. Need to get better at identifying a single in an option trade. My theory going into the trade was correct and would have made about 25% in 20 minutes, but I set my sell point too high and didn't sell before the price dropped. Exited the trade when it recovered later that day, but should have been patient or sold partial to catch the rest of the move upward.

Testing options strategy.
