Same thing over and over the key to the mint
I came across a nice video last night on the repetitive nature of trading towards edge creation,development and consistency. There is science between how to practice turning a setup into second nature via positive habit forming which results in effortless trading. this is why it is very hard to trade someone's strategy. without practising 1000s of same or similar setups, frustrations turn into negative emotions into mistakes and bad decision making. If I am required to "think" while trading, I just made myself a lagging indicator :-

{quote} And on the flip side, there is no guarantee that experience will result in positive expectancy if we keep looking for something that is just not there at all...

That's the beauty of this thread... I've got years of Elliott Wave coupled with Fibonacci experience and yet i no longer rely on it. The BEST method of all - retests of obvious S/D levels, is where it's at, so anyone stumbling across these pages, can cut out years of going down the wrong routes and concentrate purely on pullback trading!)

Wonder if they are waiting on FOMC meeting minutes this afternoon. Yesterday it triggered on Powell's speech.

Who knows? I will just wait patiently for ideal set ups only.

Make sure your SL covers the top/bottom of point 3. I took the same trade but my entry was at 6898.75 with SL 6901.75 (top of point 3), I got stopped out at BE (with a slip to +4).

Yeah... I was thinking about that... and that is why I keep saying about subjectivity involved in placement in regards to measuring where SL will fall (half bar logic). SL on wick is just silly imo but Harold is all about never ever increasing the size of SL (which is a great habit to attain). Either you get lucky or you don't. If you get lucky, stop trading and enjoy your day. If you are not lucky, continue and hope the math comes to our rescue with another TP to recover from the loss at net BE or in net profit.

I bet their meeting notes would say ...
"JP - Who do you think I should Fire... you or our treasury secretary?".

LOL! Or, "OK guys, if I show up to the meeting next month with a red briefcase then we hold rates. If I have my black briefcase then we are raising rates."

Edit: Oh look, another Trump and Dump underway.
