Second Entry Long - KEP - Loss


"I took a calculated chance on a second entry long (2EL) today. The signal bar itself was excellent—tier 1 quality with great structure and strength—but its body was a bit too far from the 21 EMA. It only touched the EMA with its wick, which made the setup less ideal from a positioning standpoint.

Despite that, we had been trending up steadily throughout the session, and this setup aligned reasonably well within that broader context. The signal bar was also small—only 4 ticks—so the trade carried a low risk of just 1.25 points.

Given the low ATR of 1.90, I went for a conservative target of 6 ticks. Unfortunately, the price came just one tick short of my target before reversing, which is always frustrating.

Even though it didn’t reach the target, I’m still happy with the decision to take this trade. It followed the context, had solid risk management, and showed good execution."
