A little bit of a pullback here, this is ok as long as we can get a bounce up from trend here (ema8, blue line)

ADA has been steadily increasing, slowly approaching the sell target.

I just want take this opportunity to give out a suggestion that I often use. I entered this ADA trade at 2265 satoshi and soon after the price instantly had a run up. What I like to do in these situations is move my Stop loss up to my buy in price or a bit above my buy in price.
I do this because:
#1 If the current run losses momentum, more times than not the target will not be reached soon. I would rather use these funds to move onto another trade.
#2 By moving the stop loss up to my buyin price, or slightly above, I risk none of my own money and still have potential to make profit.
#3 I'm happier with a dead trade than a losing trade.

My stop is now moved up to 2265

My new stop was hit for no loss. It's a shame because I came so close to the target.

Trade cancelled. I will look for a new opportunity tomorrow.

ADA came back and hit the sell target. Maybe I should of not moved my stop? No regrets.
