My stop would have been just above the candle before the doji.

The length of the doji showed a clear rejection of new lows and as such was reason enough to tighten the stop.

However, in my book the earlier comments about a too early stop move were incorrect on this occasion.

hope this helps and is just my opinion for what it's worth.

Thank you amigo. Excellent critique. I completely missed the Doji. Tightening the stop to the candle to the left of the dogi is downright brilliant.
Very grateful.
