DOWN: an hz broke, so now a neat little two-ellipse-with-a-center-line-between-them adds a down.
A repeat formation slowly falls to the hz, tho, so need a convincing break.
UP: There's an angled, straight, short trend before the repeats begin -- Not to return to, only a same-as.
Yeah, alright, there's some precedence for a downward gann fan in a triangle made from the topside of said short trend.
Had to throw all that away. Channel showed up, which DID obey, if only for an hour or so and broke in my direction.
Then, pivot high, except with mean curves one down to counter direction and then a down curve convex up -- reminds me of.... that then goes up.

fail: repeat of twisty channel at pivot high, a counter-tilde if you will. Forces price down.
Alright, I found it -- Two really flat, hz trends dominated the landscape for a while. The last top compromised the two. So, the top is very, very real.

I start hearing things, which push the negativity to extremes -- "CANT >>>>TAKE>>>IT>>>>>" it says and engages in continuous dialogue while I'm trying to get this done and think to my own self, ramping up the tension to an unbearable level and erasing any confidence or self-control I may have had at the beginning.
THATs how I lose $$$$$$$$$$.
So, I need to relax and stop allowing the world to close in on me, that world ramping up tension and discouraging positive action through silence or active, perfectly-timed contrariness of yelling etc. at me.
That thing has always been there, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Others have to deal with such a thing.
closed-in, tight feeling that maximizes to destroy when dealing directly with a naturally high-pressure activity; another self/humonculus that activates when nervous or feel closed in when around a particular something
-----------My philosophy is this:
Be open and free to let price go where it wants to go, if the reason is smaller than a trendline;
and if larger such as a trendline, appreciate how well or poorly is the device, and work with it.
Regardless of one's own entry, it's nothing if a number of pips are gained or lost: It's not what I want or need, it's what the chart does.
With this, allow price to run free within the constraints of one's uninhibited in-trade loss in order to find one's reason. On the other hand, if one realizes one's reason is misjudged, then exit upon first break of the reason's area.
There is a middle ground, but tread lightly: The dark side of this is rampant with a choking fear --
Closed-in, tight feeling that maximizes to destroy when dealing directly with a naturally high-pressure activity; and, another self/humonculus which closes in on self starts early and at times thru the day activates when nervous or feel closed in when around a particular something of a medium-pressure activity thru the rest of the day. Both replace normal with caustic activity, the first absolutely destructive and the second diversively so. They feed off each other in a vicious cycle daily.
How do you contain such a monster? To be yourself is difficult, reacting normally impossible.

And it seems to perpetuate its existence, through me repeating the general activity which keeps it alive.
-- No, I know the two activities are separate, and they are within the range of ordinary life. The choking fear is when you mess up in trading or another high-pressure activity, and the humonculus/self may be thought of as a cover image to present to others that went wrong.
An easy metaphor, though, is a monster.
-----------
When I get on the wrong side of things and the choking fear takes over,
then a spiral of loss continues until I have no more, contribute more and lose that. On and on and on until I quit. Only I never do, and it's as if the monster has taken over that part of my life, continuing to exist only because I continue the activity. So I run into it time and time again.
Some people have found a way to defeat their inner demons, though. This is mine.

I think what I mean is that, while in cash, price holds above the condensed and the hz, then I'll go long.

The spike and magnified-candle approaches help me focus a lot better and understand the chart.
