TT Sir, Same trade, exited with a profit on the opening candle at the high of the day. As crude was trading slightly -ve internationally, the chances of crude going higher on MCX seemed less likely. With due respect, consider the following : Be willing to give up a part of the profits, upto 1/3rd or even 1/2, but never let a profitable trade turn into a loss.
Also, considering crude was trading -ve internationally, and intraday chart was weak, it seemed crude was a short soon after open. However, on 5 Day, 5 Minute chart, crude was a buy. As these were contradictory signals, did not short.
Again thanks for your post and updates.... Just my small bit of feedback, which hope helps you be more profitable.
A useful quote from Mark Douglass's Book - The Disciplined Trader : Be rigid with rules, BUT BE FLEXIBLE WITH TARGETS. If the market indicates more probability of the trade moving against us, it is better to exit, or adjust the stop loss in our favor.

I understand your point that its wise to exit profitable position by breaking our rules at certain times and I do follow that only If my position is profitable more than 200 points, if not I just follow the system blindly.
