Disliked{quote} Hi Billytt. The only clues that I can see looking on the 15min chart is the big bearish candle the day before and price bounced around the high of the present day I could have used your 00 to 4.00 hr bar Lem's dead zone, and Claudia's hourly above the daily pivot for direction. My problem seem's to be letting price go to far against me, and this then clouds my thinking and decision making, Regards KevIgnored
No sports person gets better by practicing what they're good at.
Exactly how you work on your bete noir is a little tricky, as it is mostly an emotional weakness (sorry, that sounds harsh but I can't think of another way of putting it).
As you gain confidence by achieving success, a possible solution can be achieved by running something like my 'disaster scenario' exercise. This, as I have mentioned before, is an exercise where I take a demo trade and let it go deliberately bad - big time bad - and then work on systematically gaining it back.
Not by trading blindly but all by the rules, working on keeping calm and collected and not letting emotions cloud the decision-making process.
Now obviously there is no real money on the line there and so it's not going to be exact. It works for me because I am such a perfectionist and hate to see a red number on my list, so will work and put myself under pressure to green up that board.
For others, not as performance driven, it will have to do that the exercise will increase your skill level and so reduce the tendency to loose your steady head under that pressure.
