eu {image} will reload, but re-assess too. usd hesitant to move
Just some things I think but I am not expert and I probably do/see things a bit different - hope it makes sense:-
- -2 is your attack force I think - I would not have let price run against my attack force - too dangerous for me
- maybe attack force could have gotten in a little bit earlier as nothing in its way after inside bar then strong push down - I would have been inside that push I think
- after prior low taken out + as -2 at extreme of channel down + combo of engulfing bear/ bull candle/ large minor climactic candle down/ doji turn- I would have taken attack out rather than see price move against it - not sure why the candle combo makes me nervous but it does - sth to do with engulfing at extremes followed by bullish action (??) - when I talk about candles I really mean the pushes and shoves inside the candles - although peeps are taught about candles and so they use em for traps too I think
- If attack out earlier then when run down resumed later - you could have put more men in at the pullbacks in a nice space.
- I would not have let my scout go into loss either to be honest
Maybe I am more jittery but I would not like my attack hit in that PB - too much for me. Be interesting to see where Phil would attack and get out in that move - he is more expert. You let things run more than me - I could maybe do with some of that.
Thanks for posting charts - I was in on last runs down - not up earlier - finished now.
I have had a winning move and let it go against me in past - duh - so hated it.

Hi Alex
For this EU, was not managing it as on point as I would like, but the "run against" i think was 10 pip or so, which for me, was ok, as price was feeling around.
What I was not ok with is my concentration and focus is still not up to pre-break par. Something I need to work on, finding myself getting distracted. Need to find something for me to do on desk rather then me wander away mentally or, physically. Lol.
Another thing, I still find it difficult to have a well crafted battle in a tight zone like today. EU move ~50pips give or take.
Markets also been coiling and, I am not yet familar with my MO for trading tight zones, like recent days. In hindsight, I brought my attack into battle too quickly, anxiety there, happy trigger. Patience always a issue. One of the things I am cultivating is to be patient, and wait for the time to pull. As what FTI says, timing is everything.
To add, personally, I dont have a fix skew for battle, just levels of troops in mind, to react accordingly to situation. I think everyone is different in this, as with character and personality.
One thing Alex, don't mind me... but it feels to me that there seems to be alot of things on your mind, or trying to keep track of everything, and/or fix rules based structure.
Myself, I want to be absolutely free, and un-restricted. Only thing I strive to be very very very very on point on is what is price doing, HH HL or LH LL. There can be no compromise there. I must be strictly on point at where is price, and whats moving.
Other then that, the usual daily, and short charts, impulse 12345 and retracement abc, and events for day, which should be 2nd nature and in sub-conscious by now. Finding a way to quickly solidified this internally too, so that the conscious mind arent using effort on it. Since all I need from my conscious is to move with the HH HL / LH LL.
Here, do give this a read, if suits. I find it to be one of the most brilliant reads I read this year.

Yes Phil is more expert, also, he has experience that we lack, so we got to keep our heads sane and keep fighting and training and cultivating ourselves to make it better and better.
Yea, I hate it too. But remember, monk story. Take the lessons, learn, understand, then let it go. Don't hate it, hatred eats the soul. Lessons nourish it instead. As what FTI say, "the ability to let things go quickly, is a great asset of a trader" and also "the ability to hold steady and stay cool under pressure".
(in case you are wondering, I got his quotes all written down, he's my idol. LOL.)
My pleasure having you as my thread buddy
And Phil too.

{quote} Sometimes I have difficulty keeping mind on track too - maybe gentle music helps. I hear what you are saying - but my basic rule is trade with trend (really higher time frame and m5) and then manage. I do not have fixed rules - do not think they exist for trading. but I try to watch price action - push & pull strength inside the candles I guess is what it is. FTI tells us the market gives us clues so I'm trying to learn in the doing if there are any clues to help me manage better - sometimes I do not even know why I like or do not like something...
Ok noted.
Hope the link helps.

finally she came home
can sit easy for a moment
was too rigid in this trade, tried to lead instead of follow and dance, hence, taking time off forum, to be back in my zone.
will still update here when i can, just reducing the priority.
