Decisions, Execution & Validation
Lesson / WY-06-29
Chasing occurs when an order is submitted after the planned trigger has passed and actual entry lies outside the permitted zone. Entry-to-protection distance increases, target room shrinks, and original size and reward-to-risk calculations become invalid. Recalculate at current executable prices; only if conditions still qualify create a new plan, otherwise await a retest or new structure instead of retaining old quantity.
