I will be looking to open a long position below $4,200. Target price is the range high (upper dashed line), with profit-taking levels at each quarter of the range. Stop level TBD.

Started opening longs. Will update with a final entry price.

Took a 30% loss and closed my long position. Never leave a trade without a stop

This is the point at which I should step away from the PC. I can't rely on myself to make rational trades but it's very difficult to lose that much money and know I could make it back in minutes by correctly timing a couple of high leverage trades.

Interestingly I've made 2 only buy calls on BTC since I started charting. Both times bitcoin made new yearly lows immediately afterward.
