You are trading on a 1 minute time frame??
I dont see how it could have hit a stop unless you were too scared of losing your profits?
I trade on 5 mins using pivot method.

Not sure if my following explanation will help as you might have a different method: I shorted at aggressive pivot low (today’s second bar which was below a Visual Erl) and trailed stop loss to the last minor pivot high (438.9). The TS futures fell even more and I kept on holding with SL at the aforementioned level. Nifty fell like a rock and TS futures went up like a rocket( at least to me ).

Would be glad if you would be kind to explain what you noticed. TIA!

Stupid generalization to make himself/herself feel better. Better not to bother.

If I am not mistaken ..you mentioned in previous threads that you put all your orders before market opens
no, there i clarified i dont put order before mkt open. but have all stocks with entries. sls and tgt before mkt open. most of my trades are limit order during the day mostly after mkt open i punched my orders in system.
