The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".

I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

NAS 100 Live trade - almost WHY I did not trade it?

I trade the US100 and now that its over, I know I made mistakes. This is NOT how I want to manage my trades. The setup was good and the trade management was wrong. I will repair this damage. And I will NOT be managing my trades like this. 

Next time when I take the trade, I will accept my risk of 1% and will not try to cut that. I will wait for the market to either go and hit my 2R target , exit with 2% profit, or if stop loss has been moved to BE at 1% profit, then I will accept a BE result. I will allow it to hit full 1% loss if I have to. It does not matter.

Today I was trying to be too clever. All I had to do was take those signals and then let the trade management EA take over. I hurt my profits today by two things. 1. I was not focused for the first signal 2. I was trying to outsmart the market and choaked my trade. Exit too early. Remedy: next time I won't do this. 

Here is a trade that is based on great technical analysis yet, I have a loss b because my mental setup was wrong.

US Session Full Recap

Unread post by immy »

Hi

This is the full recap. I have stopped trading for now. I will come back for the last hour and carefully see if I can make a trade or two. 

Today I traded badly, but not too bad. I should be up 4% instead I'm down .3% .

Hi Immy!
This video had some very good points.
One was that it is important to accept the full loss, BE or 2R.
Also that it is okey to make misstake. We learn from them and we get better.

It was very relateble  :-
 

See you tomorrow!
