well I'm glad I did notice that LL on 1m LOL.
you were right I see things much better on 1m its a matter of getting used to.

I entered short there too but again out of fear exited too early.

that's why is important to be present especially when you trade, when you are present and fear rises you acknowledge it, you feel it, accept it and give it more space. Then fear or any other emotion loses power over you, you will not react but act.

Trading the 1m is very demanding in terms of emotions...various type of them will come to you in very short time(?) span......not all personalities are suited for it......

Personally I need space in between myself and the Price Action, once I set it all up I need to get away from it.....a bit like "there is time to go short, time to go long and tome to go fishing".

we need to know our self first then find a method which reflects our personality.....

Perfect.
This is why I feel a huge responsibility... in having showed this kind of things.
This is why I'm in deep meditation.

good point !

psychology sure does play an important role in our performance and finding what works for you in terms of TF is equally important as the strategy itself.

but I think part of the reason why so many traders (especially struggling and the new) feel all kinds of usually negative emotions is mostly due to "not knowing enough" of what's happening and what they're doing.

so instead of acting upon past data and incoming information they react on emotions and feeling they feel.

onto why I exited too early out of that good trade is that I've been so used to trades going against me after my entry in a way my mind is conditioned for losses so in defense I closed trades as soon as they were in some profit or closed trades that went against me for a second or so even if they were in the right direction. So I'm thinking this will take a while for my mind to get used to.

Think that this one is the difference between the "first" and the "second" Livermore. (Short and Longer TF // Filtering System...)
It's a long, long story!!!

the problem rises because there is too much mind and not enough presence.....a samurai in a fight is present, there is not mind....he transcends the mind..... the practice of meditation is to learn your mental pattern which are conditioned by events.....you do not try to change them but you accept them (because that is your make up, who you are).....acceptance is the greatest tool of transformation....with time you create space for yourself and distance your essence from your mental patterns...

If you want to trade the 30second or the 1m you need to learn how to be in your body not in your mind.....otherwise you will feed your mind and it will eat you alive having his hand tied up his own back

Franco has a clear plan, he knows how much he is prepared to risk and he is constantly defending an attaching.....for what I understand he does not place sitting ducks...
