DislikedSometimes it happens that these true beauties appear, and it always happens that I miss them
Hope someone traded it!Ignored
Don't stress friend... Just not worth it. Not sure if you were joking in your first statement, but here is my .02 if you weren't. I avoid even making statements like that in my head and on this thread. My main reason is that there will ALWAYS be more to trade. This is what I try to focus on. If you feel duress about missing trades then it will show through into your trading. At this stage in my trading I would prefer to miss trades and have my account intact to trade another day.
Here are a few charts that I have been watching for about 3 weeks now waiting for something on and guess what? I was unable to trade them as well. Oh well. No big. Does it stink? yeah, a bit, but there are more to keep me interested. So here are the two charts both would have been good examples of breakout and retests:
AUDJPY:
CADJPY:
One other item that this reminded me of again is to be sure to rid myself of my bias for which direction I believe that the market is headed. I was mainly looking for a move down. Being counter trend I would not have kept either of these as a long term trade, but instead have looked to take profits at a point of significance in the recent past. Both of these trades broke and gave a signal bar while I was work. Oh well. They were not for me this time...
