Trailing SL that I'm disappointed I set too close.

Gator Nearly Closed, Purple line inside the box, AO nearing cross of ZL.
Exit on sell signal as price closed in the Gator's mouth. I was late getting out of the trade by 10 minutes as I was journaling and no audible alert came through to sell. Pay attention!

Gator Nearly Closed, Purple line away from trade direction, AO dipped but no cross.
Exit on sell signal as price closed in the Gator's mouth. This is a trade that should have never happened. Then I forgot about it and it ran through many buy and sell cycles. (4 each)
Fortunate to get out with a break even.

Gator Lips and Teeth are together, Purple line away from trade direction, AO fresh cross of the ZL
Exit when price closed inside Gator's mouth. I was late getting out of the trade. It was 4:06 in the morning, and I stayed up past the 2 hours I planned to trade LO. I'll be happy when the weekend comes, as getting up for 1AM and back to bed at 3 for a few hours until New York is tiring!

Gator almost closed, Purple line away from trade direction, AO came down to touch ZL
Exit because I had the SL too tight. I will have to work on that, as I was kicked out early, and the price is running up another 50 pips and more.

Gator closed, Purple line is close, but away from trade direction, AO came up to touch ZL
Exit as price closed inside the Gator's mouth.
I cut my trade size in half, as the original SL was too high for my strategy.
I'm happy with my discipline up to this point. I had a few slips, but there is zero emotion on trade entry for me now. Still a few butterflies when something starts to run, but I'd have to be dead not to have that!!! Only 5 more trades in this batch, and then I'll analyze how I did.
