The second bar from the opening bell wad a clear reversal signal in candlestick analysis. The better play would have been to go long from that point. Having gotten in at the beginning of a sideways pattern, I exited early reduce total time risk of the position, a decision that reduced by potential $20.25 profit per contract by $4.50.
