Stepped out way too early on this one. I was not comfortable with getting in so far from my preferred entry point and don't put as much weight in countertrend moves, but I left at least another 80 ticks on the table today.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?

I closed this trade for another 60 ticks even. Two trades today, one short after blowing stops above the market, and one long after blowing stops below the market. Total 114 ticks for the day.

Remember not to consider a trade without a trend reversal. As of this moment, the trend on the 9 range is definately up.
