Entered on a breakout of the trading range, Tier 1. However, started seeing consistent selling on the tape at the same number, repeatedly for an extended time, and also the chart was putting in lower highs, which increases the odds of a breakdown, so I jammed the stop up under that number and was stopped out before the market broke down to hit my original stop.

Signal bar was a reversal bar at the bottom of the trading range.
Entered a Tier 1 trade, due to the 30% Give Back Rule, that was the max trade size I could enter and still be compliant.

Lyft put in a large reversal bar at significant resistance identified in my pre-market report, entered a Tier 1 trade and added the 2nd tier as it moved in favor and added the 3rd tier as it moved further in my favor, however, I trailed the stop too tight and was stopped out. The trade never came close to my original stop loss before hitting my original profit target.

Signal bar was the second bar of the session, an inside bar bull bar, inside the trading range of the first bar of the session. Entered two ticks above trading range, Full size, the reason I didn’t enter one tick above the signal bar is due to being close to the resistance of the top of the trading range. First profit target was a measured move from the height of the opening trading range, booked one tier. Second profit target was yesterday’s high, booked one tick below, one tier, now holding just the core position, added back one tier above the second pullback, (High 2 from my TPP), third profit target was the high of the previous day, which was the high of the day. Book my final piece at just above breakeven.

Strong bear trend
Entered on a pullback, the signal bar was an inside bar, bear bar at 12:20 with the entry one tick below the low and stop one tick above the high.
Front loaded full size.
Took partial profits (one tier) at a measured move of the entry bar.
Stopped out of rest of trade (two tiers)

A better trade management would have been to booked the rest of the position once the inside bar bull bar at 12:40, and even flipped to long for a scalp.
Key levels: R2-29.59 R1-29.34 Support 29

ROKU had put in a double bottom with an inside bar bull bar, which led me to believe that this was a continuation pattern from the trend from the open bull trend, instead of a trading range.
Once in the trade, there was a breakout, which was just really a buy vacuum to the top of the range, with yet again another reversal, however, once the higher lows held from the original entry, it appeared to be setting up a breakout pullback long and I added another full size, for a 1:1 move to move trade, however, price broke down and I exited both trades.
A couple of bars later it reversed at the double bottom support and just another confirmation (as if I needed another) that this was a trading range.

I also could have held this trade with the bottom of the range as support and held for a breakout which came at the close.

I should have realized that the 10:50 bar was a three-bar reversal, and the next bar reversed that and the next two bars reversed each other, all of which scream trading range and should have avoided this trade all together.
