That's not exactly what I meant. If in a trend and a PB entry fails to continue then it may turn into a complex PB and there may be a re-entry signal. That may also fail and then turn in to a range. However here's my main point; suppose you see a trend, maybe a few bars, that then pulls...

Thanks. Focused , patient, bringing the rats to trade.

if you are in a trend and take a PB, right it may fail to continue and turn into range. Valid trade. But now if you suspect or have rules to identify a range then based on that context you do not take PB entries until range is broken. let me know if that answers your question and perhaps you...

re: context. For example; A "pullback in trend " set up can occur in a range. This context (range) would negate the signal because it's missing the important attribute of being "in a trend"! Sounds simple and obvious but took me awhile to actually start paying attention and not just hope it...

My first reaction to the day was a bit of frustration. However I traded the plan fine. All valid and managed well. Ended -2 ticks. The frustration comes from the action being rather choppy and I then lose some focus. I think it's intentional disengage so I don't do something stupid. Of course...

Good trading to you as well jas

Thanks traders ! jas

More of the same. Only one serious mistake of me exiting before stop resulting in missing a target. Otherwise I did my job as trader today. Choppy action so passed on a trade that I normally would take. I'm trading well but I need to push myself to get to next level of even fewer mistakes...

Our conscious brain can only process a few thoughts at the same time. Our unconscious can process many, many things simultaneously (heart rate, breathing, listening, keeping the car going straight etc) Our unconscious is doing things we are not even aware of and is being influenced by things we...

Fortunately my memory is getting worse so all I have is the NOW :) === Kind of choppy so far. Looks like no trades until after Inv #'s

I've had some very good people helping me. :D

Thanks JS. ============= I get how being consistent can lead to 'flow'. I was tested today and made some mistakes. This then leads to a decrease in confidence and some confusion/hesitancy. I think my exits can be improved but I shouldn't try doing it during the session. I was trading more like...

Close your eyes for a sec, RN. +10 today. OK open 'em. I did really well today ! Objective was to take valid trades, avoid micro managing stop and target and stay calm. I did that. The first 2 trades were stopped out. No frustration even though loss on first was bigger than I like (-12)...

Since I've switched back to CL I've been trading pretty well. Tomorrow I want to be sure I'm not over confident. Be patient and wait for valid set ups. They will be obvious when they are there. Manage trades properly . Set stop and target and avoid micro managing & thinking while trading...

Good trading to you, JS ! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Same profit target on every trade, however I will adjust lower based on S/R levels. The problem I was running into was I'd move target higher, price would miss it and I'd end up getting out with a profit of 10 instead of my original 25 target. I'd rather take steady chunks and miss further...

Thanks, Mods. Thanks, ND, Dratsum & RN. I'm not going to over think it but I agree RN I believe I was a bit too impatient. The trades will be logged and i'll review the overall data I compile. Thanks, I will celebrate the victories as I stay focused on improving my execution of the plan...

I'm trying to look at this objectively. I think I did OK today. First trade went quickly to target in 2 minutes so I was only moderately tested. Next two trades failed to move past resistance quickly. One was a reversal trade and the other a PB after an extended up move. So I wasn't willing to...

I'll do it,thanks. No screw ups tomorrow.

I think that's pretty accurate. I wasn't as focused as I'd like initially. Lethargic. Eventually after a short break I had better focus and was taking proper entries. But still fell back to old ways of just grabbing profit on first sign of weakness. I'm thinking push ups or deep breathing to...
