Maybe I should look at a day where there's not a lot of setups and think: hey... today's not a day to push... there's not a lot setting up.
Instead, I tried to squeeze money out of nothing.
Greed: I had a good setup. I got my p/l target--though I only took off 1/3 (greed) and moved up my stop. But instead of riding it out, I tried to get really cute and reload on the pullback (greed). When it stopped, the loss overwhelmed my initial gain for a net red trade. As regrettable as that is, I don't regret taking the stop, because it got worse and worse from there.
Was this trade "clockwork"? I'm going to say B-. I did wait for an entry. I got the pl target but should have taken more off at the target. I shouldn't have added. I did well to take my stop. Some days these tactics pay off, but today was not a day to try to push.
