The word vortex has special meaning this morning , boy was I lucky in so many ways but mostly I used my experience of price action to end up as a break even day. So I should be greatful and yet my emotional experience is one of angst to say the least. I did not follow my rules for a trade and had to use the 23% retracement trade as my safety net. I hate that.
Gory details - went short the Audjpy with a larger lot size than I like because I was on my laptop. I then turned off my laptop to move from the cafe I was trading in and came home because the service went down right after my order so I did't put in a stop loss - yikes - perials of trading in cafe's. Anyway by the time I got set up again I was down huge so I did what I had to do - went short again and prayed - price eventually got me back to break even and I took it instead of hoping for a profit. Truthfully I hate doing that kind of trading and it is also one of the reasons I trade the later part of the New york market - I count on a retracement.
So now that my body is relaxing and my mind is looking for the atta boy and my being is back to a relaxed place I can begin to rebuild my confidence again. My plays work use them.
