Excellent quote.
That is what screws up a lot of traders.
They have profit and then lose it.
I may seem contradicting when i speak about playing , but trading now for me is like a game /hobby.

Wizz, anyone.
i will show examples.
RETRACE TRADES.
To give you an idea when to trade one, go down to a 5 min or 2 min chart, and use the bars which then retrace to enter.
Cable 2 minute just copied.

the 00-00 low had broken, then it retraced back up.
The black lines show where could short.
some of these black lines are good and a couple fail.

That is why i said ,i wouldn't keep doing it.
Let me explain.
Cable today, 08-00 broke high, i got 5% i now should be out in the sun.
BUT we have the 00-00 4 hour range, the low broke and then retraced back into the 00-00 area.
Anywhere in this area is a short bias. (forget about the 08-00 high break).

So instead of just shorting where i might think is a good place, why now try get a clue or two,
stick a 2 min chart or 5 minute and lets see if they can help.

one fail and one with approx 9/10 if we traded or if we traded and close.

I can sing a full song on it. Just give me a beat :-) Not so much anymore since listening to some of your advice.

Itīs interesting how our brain works. You take a trade and what you remember is all about what you left on the table. So you are setted up for FOMO before your next trade without even beeing really aware of it.

Now try to remember how often it did NOT work? Price directly moved against you NOT clearing the table for you. You might had at least the chance to take a few and call it a day, be happy? No but you didnīt.... You then might even have to put in endless of more hours just to get back to break even for the day.

Another example. How many traders start to become scared while they are in a winning trade? Instead of thinking of where to add even more lots to it, they start to think, where to get out? BUT in return, what they do if the trade is under water right from the get go? Instead of getting scared losing even more and get out of the trade they begin to HOPE and keep holding to it until it becomes a nightmare.

Same here.

Can i ask if you use pending orders to get in the trade or do you manual execute orders if price hits the high or low prices of the range established?

I think I should better manual execute orders maybe because of spread at times could be to high otherwise, not sure.

pending order i use 99% of the time for an entry.
i enter on the exact number and discou nt the point.
ie, cable low was 13977.4 (point 4) my entry was 13977 exact.

Goodmorning everyone,

Have not traded yesterday. And will skip the BillyBar today because of OPEC meetings in combination with the sideways action we had have since 0530 orso (my stats do not show great things in relation to this (not BB specific)). Maybe if I see a good opportunity with one of my other strats I will hop in later.

Have a good one all

i ignore the opec meeting, they have not influenced much in the past.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!
