MARA : POST TRADE ANALYSIS
Good high handle type entry.
What would have kept me in this trade?
We don't always make perfect decisions. If trading was a perfect science, there would be no opportunity. I post this analysis to show where the "doer of deeds could have done differently".
One sticking to my original stop and trailing the 10 day.
Perhaps, waiting to see if it cut the prior day low before exiting for just allowing the rest of the trade to ride isince I was already in profit.
Or, moving the stop to just below the candle of the gap?
The main reason I sold the final position was due to upcoming earnings report. It's apparent that stocks can suffer damage so it is important to always know the earnings date, before purchasing a stock. The pull-back was intense and could have been a lot worse, but I had an 11.9% cushion which was borderline for holding through an earnings report.
It hasn't closed below the 10 day. Holding final position could have been successful but we never know if our stock might gap down 30% on a report.
The results of the trade : 11.9% 1.87R
EDUCATIONAL AND NOT MEANT AS TRADING ADVICE.
