When you say "many times", how many times do these convictions turn out to be correct? As in how many times do you actually get the perfect entry that works out in your favour?

When I first started out, I had a mental discipline problem with keeping the stop losses at their initial level because I believed it will turn positive. Of course sometimes it would, but most times my balance ended up battered.

Once I got the confidence that my levels indeed work, I didn't feel spooked by the losses. Nowadays, I'd rather let sl get hit then re-assess...

To be honest, so far none...! It is a common mistake many traders do actually, that was one of the reasons I posted my failure. And believe it or not I am hapy with a 20 pips SL since I used to insist on my so called "perfect entry" in the past and instead of 20 pips I would have probably 40 pips red right now. So, there is no perfect entry with my trading, there are possibilities and one should not think those possibilities will always work on your favour.
Have you studied supply/demand much? I find it's super-helpful for entries and targets. Low-risk, very high r/r esp when working off H4 and Daily.

Obviously you're quite a good trader, so just throwing ideas at you

You are the 1st one he talked to so he had to say something to get your attention. Wait 30 mins - 1hr until he comes up with something interesting.

I have worked on supply/demand but clearly not as much as I should have. I see many - especially long term position holders - use that quite often. Where do you get those supply demand area boxes on your chart. I need to have a look at it apparently.

I am relatively new with FX mate, so all appropriate ideas are welcome...!

hey bro

I always struggle exiting rather than entry actually - maybe I should take a leaf from your tree!

and Doggette - the mental discipline issue for me is def something that has haunted me loads before, and still does when Im not paying attention or I let my guard down... still taking learning curves every week - but in the long run it will be so worth it!
I know I'm still learning too. I ran a journal with introspective analysis of what I went through when I suffered a loss and how I managed a trade. It helped me to weed out the fear. First and foremost, you gotta have a solid strategy that works. Unfortunately this is where the chicken or egg causality dilemma comes in when trading: when we're starting out, we mostly have no clue what we're doing, let alone having a solid strategy... Hence the fear and insecurities grow. I was terribly impatient at first and tried to work off m5 and m15.

So as a begginer, I wish someone had told me not to even look at lower TFs before getting the grip with a lot less noise. It's tough to weed out the fake moves and it's my belief that one should only do m5 and m15 after years and years of doing this bloody job. When I developed patience and started looking at higher TFs, suddenly the stress was gone and my analysis was finally working out. Made a killing over the next 7 months. So much that my first job became a very nice hobby.

I will say this though: I had the luxury of time. As asession musician it meant that between tours and gigs, I had infinite amounts of time to stare at charts in real time and watch countless webinars. I'm well aware most people aren't that lucky.
