Judging by your posts here and elsewhere, you appear to be fairly new, and much of what you want to know may become clear as you become more experienced (I'd like to say "will" become clear, but that is often not the case). Issues of nearby rewards and tight stops and trailing stops and risk:reward ratios and where do I enter/exit and how I do I distinguish up from down are among the most common puzzlements that beset beginners and are all a consequence of their not knowing just what it is that they're looking at.

Once you understand what you're looking at and become familiar with it, you should be able to determine the best entry for your risk tolerance, and you will have defined what constitutes a reversal signal (I say "should" because many people never do). Once that's accomplished, it's simply (but not necessarily easily) a matter of entering when you're supposed to and staying in until you get your reversal signal. At that point, all the issues regarding stops and r:r and cutting profits short and so forth will for the most part evaporate.
