Yeah, I should have looked at the daily candle yesterday near
the close. And on your chart it just had a little "Pinocchio" as
you like to say, barely poking below the line. Also, for
whatever reason, when I charted it just now on
tradingview.com it didn't
even break the trend line. I wish I'd looked at it there before
setting my stop (which was too tight anyway, imo).
Yes KDMN never even breached the trendline but more importantly
what was your trigger for entry in the first place and stop.
If stopped then why not rebuy above yesterday's high?

I bought a starter position within the pattern at the break of
the hammer candle that formed on June 16th. Whenever I do that I
take a small enough position that essentially I don't care if I get
stopped out. My stop was 4.38, should have been 4.35 to be a couple
cents below the wicks formed on the 15th and 16th. In any
event it was a very, very small position and doesn't matter to
me.

The close is what matters most and KDMN bounced off support and closed with a hammer candle. That pattern remained intact with a HIGHER LOW
Yeah, I should have looked
