I'd like to become a better trader

P&L -1.4 points

first 2 shorts were stopped out. They were false breakouts. I should have waited for a close below YC. We had too much support there - YC, AH low. It was defended a few times already, so we needed a close below that for any weakness to materialize.

3. long on 2 failed breakdowns and outside bar. stopped out at b/e

4. reversed short. then closed it because I ran out of patience, that was a mistake, I should let my trades work.

5. Re-shorted it, stopped out and reversed long.

my first 2 trades were impulsive trades because I was yet again afraid to miss a trade. I need to get over this.

and then I was doubting my long set up and kept closing and reopening it.

Need to practice more.

I must keep part of my contracts till they reach target and not close prematurely because of fear.

Got chopped up again today. Need to better define my rules over the weekend.

and no new trades from 12 to 2 pm, unless the set up is spectacular.

3 times today I closed my trades prematurely before the target got reached Correct on the direction, but lacking conviction.
I need to look into it.

confuse pullback with reversal. Need to look into that.
got stopped out of the last short by one tick.

I confuse pullback with trend reversal and closed my long since this morning, which again reached all my initial targets.

I close my trades before targets, again.
