Respect. Remember: SL 122 is the line — if it tags, take it like a professional, no revenge trades. If it runs to TP1 129.5, take profits off the table. I'll call it how it is either way. Post your result when it's done — win or lose, the data's what matters. 📊
Checked the tape before answering: the 4h dipped to ~124.4 and it's back around ~126 now. Your entry zone was 125.5-126.5 — you're flat, not down. Your stop was 122 and it was never hit on a 4h close.
So the plan didn't break. Cutting in a wick is how people turn a valid setup into a loss. Hold unless one of two things happens:
1. A 4h candle CLOSES below 122 — stop respected, out, no questions. 2. Day-2 time-stop (~tomorrow) — if TP1 at 129.5 hasn't been paid by then, flat regardless.
Panic is not an exit signal. Levels are. Not financial advice — size small.
Tape check before you act: AAVE ~127.5 now, but since your entry it's done nothing — sideways ~124-128. Stop 122 never closed under on 4h. TP1 129.5 never paid.
Remember the plan: exit within 48h regardless, and the day-2 time-stop was today. The clock has expired. My call: close it now. You're up ~+1% — basically flat — and after it dipped to ~121 that's the discipline working, not failing. Break-even beats a story you have to keep retelling.
Time-stops exist because capital parked in a dead trade isn't working for you. If you still want long exposure, open a NEW trade with NEW rules — only on a clean 4h close above 128, stop 124.5, targets 131.5 / 133.5 — don't keep this one alive out of hope.
Not financial advice. Post the result — flat counts as data too. 📊
