Am I the only person to think that the second you put in a trade, the market seems to move in the exact opposite direction? If I set up charts with fibs, rsi's, and candle patters that all say one thing (along with news that coincides with same), and things suddenly fly off in the other direction, then what exactly am I supposed to be looking for?
Also, has anyone placed a trade only to see the market apparently freeze, or hover up and down a few pips, only to fly off the second you close your trade?
I must be blessed with some sort of gene that can control the market and force it to go the other way, but only when I'm trading. But seriously, how do successful traders get past this? I can't be the only one who thinks that his mind can negatively affect the market.
Sorry for the rant, but sometimes it seems so frustrating, and I have to get up and walk away, less I put my fist through my monitors.
Edit: The second I make this post, I take 10 pips on a small trade. Maybe the secret to trading is to rant and look foolish online?
