- Long at 103 .. out around 110. Completely misjudged how far and how quickly this can run.
- I feel fear when I see exponential curve price action such as this, even if I am on the correct side. Bad mistake.
- Lesson for future .. OK to take profit but retain at least 1 contract on a trailing stop/reversal out basis. Missed the meat of this move by taking profit much too early.
