I don't really consider recent profits as proxy for allowing more or less drawdown. However, my R/R is still very reasonable and I'm not veering from my trade style.

We'll see how it plays out. I'd really like to pick up a little more EA, but bounces there are tough to grab.
looking good ... i will hope to get to 2914.. to start placing some adds. i lost the 2788 target with this high.. but still the one for 2815 2810 2785 2755 2741 2668 and 2444

Gotcha, good stuff... it sounded like you were expecting a continuation of a bull move to the mid 1.29s

watching the s/p it may.. everything lifted today verse the usd on news. all i can do is look at weakness at b/o points.. if warranted place a trade on the side i like. with a stop over the fence. near 2914 is where i look next.. pa did hint at 55.. i have some places before like 20 and 50.. 2929 was a mid we would have normally come back to before 2810

and boom, 1.2920 just printed.

Here is yet another example of how I still struggle with patience. 1.2920 was the level I had my limits in to enter short last night. I pulled them this morning when I saw us make new lows and decided to start scaling into shorts in the 1.2875 zone and up because I was afraid of not getting an entry.

FOMO (fear of missing out) can be a bitch and it's always a battle trying to combat that feeling.

i type slow.. but i don't see weakness yet high atm 2921..... 2920.5 is the mid for 2668.. the u mid at 2950.3
