Was no trade as PA and confirmation didn't happen, buyer held strong. but its still a loss in my eyes!! l was hi-jacked from my biased analysis.
Turning this Journaling, grow from it !!:
been very patient and disciplined over recent few weeks, which made for building of high win /loss ratio across fx and dax. but with that comes ego building sometimes thats why over time l have found confirmation entries save my ass, money and emotional toll. i'd become personally biased on this setup l WANTED price to do retest lower back to that h4 spiked demand OR EVEN BETTER LOWER INTO WEEKLY DEMAND AGAIN to flush of early buyers,for even better discount instead of listening to what price was really telling me. My top down analysis although clear to move higher l didn't want to see it, throwing caution to the wind l wanted better price discount before these new highs. to combat this never focus on profits or percentages that was my trigger here, but just always just focus on your process not any individual trades. Remember you'll miss trades here and there, that's a given, don't become frustrated if price does't act accordingly to plan as you'll stir up that emotional pot withn where as trading must require emotionless, clarity and no over thinking just reacting. let the market dictate the direction and moves it chooses, never try to better the market it's costly.
Unconventional ways work best, best to journal and grow, not bury it or forget what happened, honesty it's important moving forwards.. one last thing you daily routine exercise, workouts, mindfulness and breaks away from work is just a vital as trading long hours in front of screen.. remember trading is 10% skill, 80% emotions and 10 % risk management.
