DislikedTrade 10 Got in a bit early (agressive) and took a loss on EU. Was considering GJ long at the same time. Had a tough time syncing with price action - esp. after the loss, so eventually I said enough...felt myself getting frustrated & didn't want to make poor choices. {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} nope, look at the trades you have taken, compare this one to the others, see if there are some comparable trades to this one and ask the question I am going to ask you. Anyone else reading this can try this exercise as well.Ignored

Dislikedok after pondering this I think it has to do with risk. More specifically in the other trades I was trading an edge of a channel or recent support/resistance. This recent trade was not like that and edges were less evident.Ignored
Disliked{quote} It is about risk, but not necessarily what you are saying. Check out post 144 and compare to trade in post 130. Scott, what you are saying is more of the first step in figuring out how to become profitable.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Still not sure...lol I went with the move on the trade in post 130. I went counter trend in the newer trade. I gave the first trade more room to work out with stop under support. My stop was really tight on the newer trade (too tight)...Ignored
Disliked{quote} You finally got there. Inconsistency in stop loss size. Now, next question: Did you really "give it more room to work?" and was the stop on the last one "too tight?"Ignored
Disliked{quote} OK the truth is the stop loss I place needs to be large enough to go beyond the area I plan to hold with a little bit of cushion. I don't normally stay in trades like the one from post 130 but sometimes I do put a stop too tight. Perhaps a reverse engineering is a good idea. Determine the stop loss in advance and based on that know where I can enter in order to accept that amount of risk.Ignored
