Trade Review
4/25/24 MES1! This trade was entered in error as I was attempting to trade MNQ! and opened the wrong symbol. I was okay with it though because the setups were pretty much similar, however, because I hadn't done my research on this I took the win once I saw I had reached a target.
PDAs: 1H/15m-FVG/OB, BSL, above price, -PG, 1H-FVG/BRK near the DOP, SSL and +DXY
Entry: 5043.75 SL: 5053.75 Target: 5035.50, 5029.00, 5022.25 Risk off 1:1: 5032.50
Good: The good was that it moved along with the NAS price action and I could have cleared 2 targets.
Bad: Bad news is that there was a lot of confusion with the orders not being filled and the charts not being easily accessible. At one point, all my TP and SLs were not added to the trade and not finding the charts I needed definitely was an issue.
