Made a cheesy mistake, got in successfully, but stop was not properly set, and got triggered. Always put initial stop below the low tail, they will exhaust entire candle to "grab" shares.
Also market is still insane. This is right after. This one might have been a hard to hand on to trade.
AAPL wont execute... had perfect entry. Maybe was too late? Maybe didn't quiet touch the stop price... need to be there pre-emptively.
Even had it marked in TC... just wasn't watching charts.
And again with GOOG... saw price dance through STOP many times...
Is this why people select pro routing?!
Ended up getting passed over in 2 more super profitable trades... maybe 10+R for the day if it worked. Here is one:
Worked with Claude to optimize my IBKR settings... switching to Last pricing and Pro / Tiered. Hopefully it will help me fill. Because if I can't fill with such small amounts on such voluminous instruments... might as well switch to market orders (f that).
