Again. My price read was a failed b/o but I didn't wait to see if Supp would hold and turn it into a break out pullback. This is same problem i had a year ago-exit at support. some kind of need for instant gratification or just plain fear ? don't know. I'm not seeing context as well...

Trust the trend. I keep letting myself get shaken out by quick reversal bars. Psych issue partly 'cause i'm thinking about getting in, hesitate, enter late then start thinking i'm wrong.

Trade management. Had a decent entry on a short. Placed my stop a little wider than normal based on structure. Price went my way to + 4 . Figured if it showed signs of reversing i would exit. Well, it did reverse, about 9 pts in less than 30 seconds. I was looking at a diff time frame chart...

Ouch. i was looking at your last trade. First beer's on me.

Yes you do . you were booking profits to get green on the day. Happens sometimes.

Cruel markets reward then slap you across the face. Exited at my target w/ a resting order a bit above support. Yeah ! + 9 Market then continued to fall with barely a pause another 20 points. :eek: Frustrated ? Only for the first 15 pts i missed. :D After that, oh well that's the way...

oh they're not so innocent. How 'bout: jasinhbca's Highway to Hell Cue soundtrack..

Better focus today. Had an interruption around 12:00 pst and missed a good short entry. Getting into a trend is still tough for me at times so just watched and tried to learn something. 6 trades +12.25 Still too greedy or biased. Had 1 trade MFE of 5 that i exited for .75. Should have...

Thanks RN, You've got set up areas. Triggers ? In that last yellow box would you look to buy near the up sloping TL ? Do you buy the upside B/O or would you wait for a B/O pullback to see if it holds. Thank you !

I see the spike and the fail if long, i would bail the TL it did touch so if i must short i say and this bet will pay.

and this is why i don't make any $$..... short trend up moving into resistance, longer term still down... i'm flat a few more bars

How 'bout flat ? Is that a choice ? ok, short the move into resistance.

Arrived to office late so missed the early run up. 5 minute 20 ema too flat on some trades i took. 1 minute time frame they looked better. I need a bit more patience. As always, after the fact there were better entries. Still trying to digest a couple new ideas.

Rashid, if being VERY upset motivates you to improve and helps you trade better then great, everybody is different. For me being upset may force me to study more but it also causes me to trade from a fearful, tense mindset. Not good. Last week i had a couple good days then a meltdown...

Instynct, you've made great progress this year. It's inspiring. Congrats and keep it going.

Hi Snow Thanks for your reply. This guys blog may be of interest to you. He has a link to his EW charts on the right side. http://s2trading.blogspot.com/ Are you trading your signals ? jas

I'm trying to incorporate the use of trendlines more. Looks promising but it's screwing with my head a bit. Blending it with price action is tricky. The PA needs to take the priority however sometimes a TL can be a good filter and indicate an entry may not be the best spot . My brain is...

Thanks CL, Do a search on Handle and read some his posts in different threads. He always is worth reading

I haven't done the mix of sim and real. If i made $$ on sim and i'd probably become more frustrated. I like what you're doing . It sounds like your on the right path. GL

Thanks Handle, Pretty much every time i come across one of your posts i end up printing it. I do try to anticipate where stops are and think that way but haven't quite got it yet. Thanks for the tips . I'll be reviewing them some more.
