Stock:ES emini
Entry Bar: open
Entry Green Line:783 short
Stop Red Line: 790
Result: stopped out
Notes: Great example of using a stop. I took a small position to fade the gap this AM, decent risk reward even though I dont like fading gaps on Mondays. As you can see I placed a stop, I didn't "assume" the gap would fill at some point. You take your loss and move onto the next day or play. Not placing a stop and you would have been crushed today as the market did not stop moving up. Taking losses is part of the game. Its a marathon not a sprint.
