you had drawn the support and resistant but not following them.
1st buy not taking profit at resistant.
2nd and 3rd buy near resistant.
1st and 2nd sell should be buy at support.
you were not satisfied with 130 pips run?
the usual ranging move is half of that.
price does not travel in a straight line, always with pullbacks. so take the nearer more achievable smaller targets.

from my observation on you so far, you have set too far a target to achieve in intraday.
the target will take days away to achieve.

and during intraday what does price do? - lots of pullbacks.
this is because big boys manipulate to buy at lower prices to reach their targets.

i myself am also making the same kind of mistakes.
we must slow down to review and reflect on them.

this month, not only i had lost all my profits and also eat into my capital.
i could not regain faster because my capital was getting smaller and smaller, running out of ammo.
only with a cool head and reflections that i had regain my capital.

it was not that one is ignorant. years of knowledge are there.
somehow at the heat of the moment, one could not recall to apply the knowledge stored in the brain.
psychology and emotions took over.

that's why i say knowledge is only 20%.
psychology and emotions 80%.

Overall, the price action for this month has been very tough.
Playing small and accumulating small targets helped me to recover half of the losses.

there you go.
do not be afraid of using m1 to see the cmp flow.
open full screen and see where is the biggest move.

match the m1 biggest cmp move with your htf direction.
the asia range is somehow formed.
next to see reaction when ny midnight open.

let's see will gold drop to ssl.
is there any reason for the bounce up?
will that reason be able to break structure?

all the reasoning and questions most traders do not ask themselves and commit to a trade.
sit on the fomo.
do you think a drop of 100 pips from asia high is enough for the big boys?
