Best post yet. Now you are on to something.

Take a break until the new year, you've earned it. You saw the trade, knew how to handle it, and that's half the battle.

You aren't in the first months of the exercise, so you don't have to enter immediate. That's the lesson of those early months, taking those is supposed to build the sense of waiting for something better. Look for the sign of failure or wait for the ...

You've been adding quite a few things and mentioning things in your analysis, but I am not sure they are serving you yet. Just stick with the basic chart and basic questions. Open of week... long had lowest risk, bias short. Don't match, so where do ...

It's not your job to be perfect, it's to make the best decision you can based on what you see. Let's simplify... Sunday Open... What trade had the lowest risk? What direction did you want to trade? Did the two match? If not, where would price need ...

Here are the trades I took. You'll notice that I took the one from the top that you talked about. I also took one straight away yesterday to illustrate why we try to get the one from the top, so much less heartburn and reminder to size right. Also ...

Small profit, but good decision making. With a full account you wouldn't leave this to chance, no reason to do it now.

It's not a big deal, now move to new analysis for the next trade. The last one doesn't exist any more.

Great observation. Try replacing it with... two profitable weeks in a row. Much learned. Keep building the momentum. You can see we have the same ideas. It's not the entry as much as the idea. I see the potential danger and exit this week. As you ...

Hopefully it feels nice to have the pressure of figuring out a trade off your shoulders and more focus on what's occurring now.

I want you to re-think your statement here "nothing which tells me price could go up"... it's this type of certainty that makes you miss things. Although price went lower than the previous close, it certainly didn't blow through the lows and didn't ...

Nice, you made that look easy

Good... you had the right instincts and you know even though we are in an up move, good likelihood we'll continue with the bias. Notice the short you took would've worked, but the short from where you exited the long would have been at about the ...

Awesome, good basic trade. Positive week.

And yes, looking at the weekly could support a run to 1.15ish. Looking at daily, same thing OR a fakeout from here and slowly turn itself back to the down side. The secret is to not care either way and plan smartly for it.

Well, I showed you the trade yesterday to try and help motivate you back to positive trades after a mental letdown AND to show you this is all you need to do. In interest of disclosure, I did run the trade from the pivot... your instincts are good. ...

Price cont'd up... the basic rules tell me to wait for it to turn down, so practicing patience. Checking emotions about not trading the up move.

Don't discount things you've noticed/learned, but never forget the basics in your evaluation. Here is the basic trade from today that you mentioned. I saw it had hit the MA when I got home, it was still close, entered, looked for move back to weekly ...

I like how honest you are with yourself..."I was disappointed with missing of trades which led to the holding." I want you to really work on recognizing these feelings in the moment and finding the discipline to step away. I would also say.. ...

You definitely got too cute with things last week. I expected to see you short on the 23rd (but maybe you weren't at the charts) and then not sure why you didn't just close things down on Thursday since you had some profit on a US holiday and then ...
