βŒ› $510 Open P/L - Day 03
⚠️ Long Position
❗️ I missed an opportunity to exit at US Open. It's easy to take a "quick" profit after a massive drawdown. However, structurally based on 1 hour ATR the trade is not yet where I would move my Stop Loss into Stop Profit.

βŒ› ($55.00) Open P/L - Day 01
⚠️ Long Position
❗️ Day was pretty much "flat" and I thought I could get a quick win at close but had to watch a nasty whiplash (within my risk parameters).
❗️ September /YM Contracts so I have no immediate time pressure.
