Buy Stop trigged in PANW for long

Jul 9

Just now !! I was triggered into a **long position in PANW**.

At the same time, I had entry orders waiting on several other assets that also met my initial screening criteria. However, once PANW became an active position, I cancelled those pending orders.

My priority now isn't finding another trade—it's managing the one I already have.

The first objective is to reduce risk by moving the position to **break-even** if the market provides the opportunity. Only after the current trade is appropriately managed will I consider deploying capital elsewhere.

Risk management always takes priority over trade frequency.

The outcome of this trade is uncertain, as it should be. My responsibility is simply to execute the process consistently and let the market determine the result.

Trade closed: stop reached

Yesterday (**10 July**), the trade hit my **break-even stop** in the first hour, closing at **0R**.

No valid setup remains for now. If a new one forms, I’ll reassess.
