Parabolic short. First candle bounces off the round number 7.50. I was watching to see if the second candle would break through 7.50to invalidate the short and when it bounced off the 7.49. I entered a short position at 7.47 and put my stop at 7.53. My ideal exit would have been 7.01 for .48 cents but I looked away for a moment and it was back to the 7.19. Scaling would have been ideal here but I didn't do that and left a lot of profits on the table.
Execution detail:
Yes, I find myself in a hurry to take profits for fear of giving them back instead of having confidence with my trade. Unfortunately I let emotions take over.
