"Mid-Game Lights Out" Your move is to enter on the left side first, confirm the top and hold the position, take some profit at the first small level, and if there’s slight signs of a reversal later, choose to close all positions. Is that correct? Strictly speaking, the logic is sound, but it feels a bit tight. As long as you can try to adapt to this feeling and execute accordingly, there’s no problem. But I have a question for you to answer in the comments: for your entry in this trade, you entered directly on the left side and confirmed the top to hold the position. Did you ever make a decision not to top out? Suppose the price oscillates without reaching a top but doesn’t rise too much, what would you do in response? If the price rises slightly, how would you respond?
