Hope things are ok CG.

Hi guys, yeh, i'm surviving thanks, but in pain. Probably can't blame it on this factor but it's been a bit of a different story for me this week, regarding trading.
Patience seems to have gone and lot's of silly mistakes has meant lot's of effort just getting out of a hole. Like today... was -39 with 4 straight losses, before pulling back to -2 with a nice chunky +37, before another loser to make it -9, a couple of BE's and another +16 to leave me at +7 currently...
I need to get some sort of patience back into it all, cos i'm finding the BE's or +1's which then go on to be a nice +30 winner without me really hard to deal with all of a sudden.
Maybe it is the pain... gotta admit, i would rather not be doing anything regarding trading right now. Might need to take a week and come back refreshed again afterwards...

Yeh, sometimes what doesn't work well on one scale, looks better on another.
Just looking at my two main winners today on the 400 trades chart - (the last two arrows)
In particular the last one, i was too aggresive with my SL chase and only bagged 16, when i felt it would go to a fresh low and should have been an easy +30.
I suppose the positives to take is that, despite being turned inside out earlier, that would have made it a decent tally for the day.
I've circled the main turning points, if you cut out all the noise inbetween, sometimes it's better to have the patience just to wait for a level to be reached and have your order sat there... The first would have lost, but the other 4 would make for a great session.

Lost count of how many BE's i've taken... Up 12, down 11, back to -2...
this the best of the bunch;
another BE a short time afterwards. So minus comms, it probably leaves me with enough for a portion of chips)
