I saw many combines' a common mistake.Non of them let winners run.
Beat TST Combine Via TA with MadeMan aka PrymeTyme
- Thread starter MadeMan
- Start date
as for today ...
one mistake wich i made was .. instead of pulling the SL to BE
i somwhat managed to close the position!!! .. due to fatfinger syndrom ??? lack of knowledge of T4 ?... whateva..
several mins.. later the potential TP got hit.. and guess what ??
emotions start to kick in !!!..
Could be due to bad entries.That is th whole point.Bad entries start the train of thoughts,when the price is meandering along your entry,wouldn't be wise to exit and re-enter at a discount?

woulda coulda shoulda
the question should be, what was the reason for the bad entry?
dont you agree ?
what was first the egg or the chicken ?
i know in hindsight why i took a bad entry .. i know my wekaness
i know the Cause ... and i work on that ..
but the problem is.. as soon as the slightest emotions start to kick in. your are the playball of teh markets... and u want to avoid that!
Re*-entrys should only happen if your pre planned scenarios say so..
you have to play the game according to your PRE set Plans..
else you are in trouble.. emotion wise and market wise.. both go and in hand...
Then,better prepare yourself for re-entries,as you don't have Cristal Ball,do you..It's like a kick starter on a motorcycle,sometimes it takes a few efforts to start it
i do, but i lack of following it !
reasons:
imaptient in nature
small time window for trading due to my 9-5
**unmet developmental need, perhaps a feeling of needing acknowledgment or wanting their sense of self-worth validated, etcâ¦..

Actually market doesn't generate a LOT of opportunities..The research is quiet sophomoric..
When attempting to drag your SL order, you must have accidentally clicked in the "Bid" or "Offer" column instead of the "My B" or "My O" column. With the default T4 settings, you are almost certain to do this at some point.
I've also been trying out a T4 Sim. I have been using the One Click Stop option which avoids accidental closures like this and also means you don't need to keep selecting/deselecting "S" to switch between stop and limit orders.
Any updates? How did the 2 week trial end up? Did you do a live combine yet?
