I have sold DBS the day after a bearish hammer hammered the day high of 15.73 down to opening price. So I set an alert for 15.5 below the low for next day's trading. Next day I got hit by the alert and off I close the position.
Well, I did paused for a while to consider looking at the charts before closing it. But then I willed myself from that thought and just DO IT. Anyway I was busy with work, so at the end of the day I see DBS down to 15.29.
Like I said, I have improved in my trade management. In short trade management is how the open trade is managed while open. Trade management involves trailing stops, decisions to take part of the profits off the table, or to let it ride further. Whether you should adjust your stops due to a 'hikake', last bar rule or retest failure rule. All these are rules consistent and proven to manage my trades to let it ride the trend as far as is plausible while not giving up too much profit.
