The first trade.

This was the first trade that I took. I screened for a nice pin in an open area and decided to take it like a maverick. It was stopped out on the next pin. Mistake #1, too short of a pin bar. The next pin was a much longer one, representing 8% of price increase. Pro tip:

WAIT FOR BIGGER PINS
TAKE PROFIT AT EXACT FIRST SIGN OF RESISTANCE
