i shorted just after you exited, as it was moving back up... got the jitters as it pissed about around 70, and then came out at 58 as that had been very minor support during the consolidation and then look what happens next, it never so much as glanced over it's shoulder...
I know, brother!

I had mentioned that a break of 50 was what I was looking for for a bear party. Got the pierce of 50...closed up because I was tired. When I saw it in the morning, I couldn't help but be PO'ed with myself!

Same thing on gold. Stated I wanted a pierce of 1670. Got it...closed...slept...same result! Bastards!

Happy enough with what I got, but its like Attila has said: Even when you win, you lose! Impossible to grab them all. Setups are a dime a dozen, though...we'll stick the next ones for more!

3100 options barrier held right up until the cut, that was a tradable short set up as well..

Exits are the worst because no matter what you do, you will be wrong (I thought a lot about this statement and I think I've got over it now). With losers it's easy, get out and that's that.

Yeah...its true.

I'm cool with it. Content...is the word I would use. Am I pissed off I didn't let them run? Not really, because other times I try and let winners breathe...I close at a loss. Take what it gives, in the time you're available, and move on. It does the same shit over and over again...just grab some more.

I guess the only way to stay longer in a trade is to always look at the higher TFs (h4 maybe for intraday) and see if they have more room, but you have to enter at their top/bottom but on lower TFs. I'm using m15 lately for entries. One other thing I do when I feel crisp is take all the signals on all TFs with their appropriate SL/TP regardless. If I'm wrong on the lower ones, I make it on the higher TFs... Kind of a balancing act..

I don't care if I make them 5, 50, or 105 pips at a time. Bottom left to top right is all that I'm concerned about.

All it matters. TBH, mine is kinda flat atm and I'm not enjoying that. Gotta figure out what's up with that. Fear maybe? Some pressure I'm dealing with here is certainly taking it's toll.

I think its just part of any system, mate. Anytime I've started tinkering with things to sort out my curve...well...I wished I hadn't. Its like USDBear. Recently, he said he felt lost his "vibe." He stuck with it, and he's back cracking homers.
