Got in a pip late on this Asian session AJ short, but still managed +5.
Took 80% at +5, left the rest to run with a 20 trailer.

Small loss on the AU. Took it as a same bar short, lower TF action looked promising at the time.
AU -8x5

I have never found a hard and fast rule in all the trading time I have spent on 1-2-3 on when to take or not take a trade. However in looking at your AU I would have seen a very persistent up move that I would probably have avoided.

Thank you for your experienced observation! I'm having a tough time breaking my blue collar habits. When I show up to work, I wanna do work, that means taking trades that aren't there.
Of course, I passed on a couple winners too.

Giving money away during the Asian session. I have been doing alright up until tonight.
2 losses, one admittedly was gambling (AJ same bar, red news) and UJ (straight-up 1-2-3).
AJ -14
UJ -11

I sat and watched this one go, it even had a second chance. I'm having an interesting psychological thing going on, more often than not, I chicken out on the winner's and jump on the losers.

It ain't easy. I look for certain patterns, revisiting a previous area is my favorite. I also like big bars trades. What you call the Hal Special I don't take quite as much anymore. I mostly try to avoid the trains which you see a lot on trending days. And again I have been looking at this thing for a number of years so you pick up things and it sinks it, especially when you are bitten several thirty times.

Thanks man, I'm going to stick with it the best I can. I know how important experience is and, to be honest, in the five years I've been working on trading, I've spent very little time actually trading. I seem to jump right in front of the trains too often, I think Lem might box my ears if he weren't across the pond.
