Wyn - a number of factors, and my approach is probably was as much based on my 'not all that fussed' attitude as opposed to the kind of trading logic and math that you have outlined. So in no particular order:
- I'm currently active mainly through ISA, and so not using stops or limits, and therefore not as nimble when it comes to entry and exit.
- Share price gave no reason to buy and take ANY risk in advance of results. This long standing assumption of mine has proved correct.
- If results are positive, I don't see downside risk, or at least what downside risk there is (selling into news?), I'm willing to take, especially with a second drill coming up as well, which allows for some room to manoeuvre outcomes. The main risk, as I see it, is the gap up risk on positive news and losing out in that sense. But that's no biggie.
- A general sense that I've already made my main kill here on the 5p to 10p rise. I don't think I will be putting in anywhere near that amount in again going forward - but again, results and price movement will dictate.
- Uncertainty about how He1 would approach its newsflow. Sorry, but I'm not going to forget what this company/nomad are capable of, and if others want to label it as conspiracy theory, more fool them imo.
- Not as massively fussed about He1, as much as I was previously when I went "all in" (I've calmed down in recent months). Bit more of a lazy indifference now.
- I think I became obsessed with my self imposed 'waiting until results' and it eventually developed into a personal test of self-discipline, which became an objective in itself 👏
So a bit of a mixed bag of reasons, some logical, others maybe less so. All genuine though. Hope that answers.
Wishing you the best of luck with your trade here Wyn, and really looking forward to your TA posts going forward, as we approach some likely big price movement and volatility here again you would think? All imo and dyor
