Very important to know overall what it is bear or bull , even day trading ,,,,,especially for day trading,,,, or trying to catch the couple day swings here and there , also why I invested a little in my business ha ,,, ,, a M1 chart like Ive posted bit small ,, easy to pass it of as yea sure ,, those patterns we yak about on longer time frames play out several times a day on the little charts ,,, same shit happens ,,one has got to know what is going on for a bit longer tho ,,, helps to have a big ole picture of tht on a monitor too ,,,just saying lol ,, everyday is a chess match ,,no body tht moves the mkt with the same agenda,,, marking a few levels does help tho ,, they just gonna look different on different time frames, glad ya held bud

I just went off it hasnt been making new lows the past few days, and its been hiting that monthly open the past week.....and as u always say, see a double top, sell a double......which has worked until today.....but then at a 4th attempt, felt it was gonna break this time. Worked for a change!

well good job man ,, I know its a bitich ,, the mkt is gonna move when its ready ,, aint ever gonna fit into a system ,, never ,, but you can fit your shit to it as best ya can ,, just takes a little practice,, swing at the best spots possible and the pieces fall where they will fall

Hi traders, here are my Level and plan on Euro tomorrow, if Euro D1 close above the red line with price 1.09818 today then i will look for a little pull back toward the yellow line tomorrow and enter long, if there will be time i will still post update, but for now i am watching euro.

Good luck.

Hi folks,
Some of my friends say that trading requires a large amount of mental energy, and sometimes it passes in a state of nervous tension and stress. Therefore, I decided to share some of my experience on how to deal with stress.
As for me, the best way to feel joy when trading is to keep a diary. Keeping a diary not only allows me to systematically and competently build my work but also, from a psychological point of view, brings a certain core to this work. I don’t need to keep everything in my memory, spending additional psychological resources on it. I just check my notes. This reduces stress and makes my work more relaxed.
For the same reason, it is imperative for me to strictly adhere to the rules that are part of my trading system. For example, I do not trade on Fridays and the last days of the month, etc. My system provides me some stability in an unpredictable situation. Adhering to rules helps to avoid some troublesome situations, which take a lot of mental energy.
What about you, guys? How do you fight stress when trading?
