! I Just Missed A Trade.

Ever take a look at your Chart and realize that you just sat in front of a Screen with a Setup that you Take, with a Trigger that you Take, and a Profit that you Won't Take - because, dummy, ! You Just Missed A Trade.

Well, Tell us about it.

Tell us - The Product, The Timeframe, The Entry Candle Time (After the Trigger Candle)... then anything else you want to admit to.

Ever look back at a Missed Trade that still went on to Produce a Profit according to your Trading Rules, but you did not chase because that is part of your Trading Rules too? Yep, me too.

Maybe, just maybe, by pooling a load of missed trades, others can look in on our mistakes and recycle them by their own devices into Smooth Profity Goodness. Kinda like recycled dates that me or you or some other guy liked just fine. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Maybe some of these Missed Trades will be a heads-up for possible entry on a different timeframe, on a different setup, different system, who knows?

well that didn't take long.

Speak of the devil, ! I Just Missed A Trade.
Here's one now...

Sure. I missed an extra 140 points of movement up on the NQ because my current rule says to not get greedy. And if the market had suddenly started dropping from my exit, I would have been happy as a clam, rather than pissing and moaning about my "measly" 50 point gain.

It's a poison pill, that sort of analysis. Don't do it, you live longer. Tomorrow is another day.
 
See another guy may have recycled that into Smooth Profity Goodness on the subsequent dip using their setups, timeframes, mojo, fufu dust, ... thx for the chart, by the way, nice. dontcha dig the mnq, just started looking at it when nq got too spazzed out for prudent trading. this bad boy, the mnq, can be tuned right in using contract number, to fit like a glove. nice.

mind the format.


Sounds like an Exit Issue or a Greed / Fear Issue. Not the subject here, lol.

The Subject here is "! I Missed A Trade", not "I Wish I Had A Samwich".
woulda shoulda coulda is a different thread, lol.

The Product, The Timeframe, The Entry Candle Time (After the Trigger Candle)...
This is not manditory, lol.
Charts are extra credit, and will probably cause you to miss still another trade, lol.
cheers

Oy! So do I get extra credit for posting a chart 2 minutes BEFORE you re-editied the post I replied to, to include all that extra bit? Harumph!
 
we got no problems here.

my bad, want it back? your choice. I will delete this too in that it does not directly contribute to the intent of the thread and just junks the place up. I'll check back and delete this in about 30 min and follow any instruction you decide on.
 
I'm missing a trade right now on the MNQ. Long looks good here, but I cannot enter because of the China data coming at 10PM. My rule says, do not enter in the overnight session, because it can be hoary when we have jumped as much as we have over the past 6 weeks on hopes and dreams.

I'm trying to work the Sep contract because it give breathing room on swinging.

P.S. Had to edit my bad time, data comes at 10PM, not 9. :-\

I missed a perfect long on ES today as i was on the phone with my doctor for a surgery i am going to have to go through soon. It would have been a perfect buy and hold till end of session scenario, however i did manage to get in later as we retested from VWAP and still made a nice profit.

I had multiple reasons to take this position, there was a divergence with NQ. NQ retested it's low of day but failed, at the same time volume was also shifting from and buyers where stepping in. At the time that NQ was testing its earlier lows ES was 13 points up from its low of day, the low of day rejection in NQ and serious volume shit to the buyers side made me wanting to buy as soon as we got back in the overnight range. Unfortunately just before it happened my doctor called me :D.
