yes sir!. becauuse the odd of hitting my old profit target at 1169.25 is slim vs 1171.25. And when the fund exit their positions, the market may not drop passed the 50% retracement level. therefore, the 1171.25 is in within the 50% retracement

that is the reason why i do not place my stop because the funds manager needs to exit their positions.
