Finally a nice winner. A gift of a trade.

I was long 4 contracts when I started the video (from the most recent blue dot).

Tightened stop, then took 1/2 off at previous resistance, then it just kept running and running and I manually moved my stop up with price action until stopped.

1st half off at +17 ticks
2nd half off at +39 ticks

Screenr - indextrader7: finally a nice win

Don't feel bad ... I once shorted Walmart on the day Kmart filed bankruptcy... that was painful...
