Limited Trading Day
I started a new job today. I will be able to trade the open most days, but not much the rest of the day. Things could get interesting, but I don’t have enough track record yet to transition to a prop desk.
I added onto my EB position today.

Open Trades
While everything else about an open trade is established at entry, the ‘stop loss’ order will be adjusted periodically over the life of a trade. The idea is to move the stops at key price points and let the profitable trades keep running.
