So 7 hours after your target is hit you decide you exited at better than 2 points higher, which is only 3 ticks from the high of the day?

If you were the one watching someone else do this what credibility would you give them?

I place a stop order but not a sell order at my target. My targets are just a rough level that I'd like to get. Exited this morning when price blew right threw ..

Does that clear things up for you?
