Today morning, you had an opportunity to read my post about the recommendation regarding a short signal on the SP500 futures. Of course, I have bought a short position at the price 1705.7 points and after 3:15 p.m. the Warsaw time when the price have fell to 1696 points, I have put my stop profit to 1700 level. Exactly at 4:06 p.m. unfortunately, I was thrown out of the market and I booked a profit of 5.7 points. <chart below>

Nice trade but if u held position much longer, now u would take much higher profit.
ReplyDeleteyou're right but it is the role of take profit.
ReplyDeleteI understand the role of TP, but why don't hold position to support levels mentioned in post before?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. Of course, always when I trading I set stop loss this is consistent with my and corporate investment policy where I working. During the day, I'm trading in many financial markets, and unfortunately I'm not able to monitor up to date any of them. Therefore, most of my trades closes just using a take profit, stop loss or stop profit.
