Nice swings today at the turn signals, although YM and NQ entries were early and suffered small stp-outs. I followed my rules regarding stp trailing and that kept me from being stp'd out for the 1st TF trade, that went slightly against me after my initial 1/2 position exit. I was late on several other TF entries, but was given fills on retests. This waiting can often mean you miss the trades, for markets do not always retest turn turn levels initially. It has to remind us that getting a good fill is always a bit of luck and a lot of practice. In too soon, or waiting too long out of caution when trying to decide on your entry price. You can't have it like Goldie Locks, not too hot nor cold. The best you can do is just get in the trade and manage it within your stp-loss distance and your stp-loss order trailing rules. Make a plan, and then stay with it...
