ES was so far down and YM was ripping while all other indices were a lot lower. Took the initial short on YM then waited to see if I was correct to add size. Added up to 4MYM then took it for about $200 profit but had I held for the 2m candle stop wouldve been almost $400 profit. I need to make sure in the future when I am in a trade like this I HOLD for the 2m candle stop. So far from just noticing how often I take profits I would be making at least 25% more money if I just held for that 2m candle stop. Futures imbalance trade that I playbooked a while ago and it worked quite well today.
