Yes, but we've all cultivated tough skins
FWIW, I went from being a losing counter-trend trader to a profitable trend-follower, so you'll find it helpful to look at a 1-min ES chart when a key level breaks (triangle, trend line, etc) and that breakout level becomes S/R in a possible trend. Any little 1-min pullback is generally a great with-trend entry even though it feels all wrong. Just hold your nose and buy or sell in the direction of the trend and watch money appear in your account.
Nice move up from the open today, but once the lower trend line (LTL) across the 6:40 and 9:15am eastern time lows on the 5-min chart broke down with conviction, just look on the 1-min chart for pullbacks to short (eastern time 1min entries):
12:30, 12:37, 12:45, 12:55, 01:11, 01:25, 01:39, and so on through the day.
