Any exit after a fast move is a good exit, but if you click to a higher chart and that fast move is a candle that is lower than something then you would consider holding.

I watch the 2 & 30 minute charts with position (stops) at 3-day extremes by default.

I only hold if I would have taken a trade from the daily+ level:

1) Can I reach 3-day extremes (with stop)?
2) Look at the 30 minute chart for "something"
3) Trade the 2 minute chart
4) If "something" appears on the daily+ chart then hold.

That said, I don't think that I would have held that trade longer than Doji.

I have always enjoyed trading, but if this trade and the last one I posted would happen every day...... I would be in love!

Doji - those were Beautiful trades mate

I did not take them - but I love marking up charts - it helps me make sense of PA


I know i don't see things in the same way you do mate - but the trade exists whatever way you look at stuff (which is always interesting)- i also put in a reason to have maybe stayed in he trade (again - I only marked this up in order to make sense of PA)

so here is my markup of the chart the way I see things
