identifying trends and patterns before they form.

mute9003

when i go over my trades i have no problem identifying patterns, they are very easy to see obviously in retrospect.
but when imlive trading i dont even see the simplest most basic patterns forming
i feel like my self sabotage is showing up in blocking my ability to see patterns forming..
wtf do i do with that lol

how do you get rid of self sabotage in trading?

also any advice on reading charts that are forming..(maybe its not self sabotage maybe im just missing some important piece of knowledge that changes how i look at the charts)

I won't be much help as I trade off weekly and daily charts.
My process is as a pattern sets up I form an opinion of what I expect it to do. If it doesn't do what I expect, I get out of the trade and wait for another pattern.

Do you self sabotage, 9003?
Why?
If you can not give yourself permission to win, then go do something else.
If you can...
Do you have names for your "patterns"?
Can you name any that you use?
What are they?

Seriously, you expect to do your chart analysis and trade on a phone? It's no wonder you can't see things straight.

Also what you've shown is just any ordinary breakout. There is NO CONTEXT. What is the breakout level based off of? Was there a similar level of resistance in the past?
 
if u see the trend already, u are already too late....the trick is to get in before the trend. place your bets, manage your risk, and only time will tell.

btw, do you have a trading journal? you should have a strategy when to enter and exit etc. if not, go find one or develop your own.
