do i rush into a short trap or wait now for a decent trigger and have a better RR , lets toss {image}
I would wait for now. There seems to be some orders around 111.7 which should still be there when price reaches it. I'd watch for price action when it arrives for a reversal.

I'm flat. There are some pullback positions you could buy into but I'm trying to be extra picky about my entries now so I can convince myself I know what I'm doing. My pattern of trading has been until recently 1) Make good decisions and wait for high probability setups, 2) Make money, 3) Become overconfident and pick iffy setups 4) Lose it all stabbing randomly at iffy setups. Would rather just repeat steps 1 and 2...

Ah yes the big old problem ...

I`ll always make mistakes somewhere as its part of humanity and I seem to be a human.

Yep. You nailed the Psychology of Trading on the head with that statement. When you get past that repertoire then you're golden. Only way around that is experience. Some take less time to get it and others never get it.

Let me add to that statement, sometimes you pick out kickass zones but you don't take them because you are still nursing your ego after a(consecutive) loss(es). One thing we have to remember is that each trade is COMPLETELY independent scenario from your last trade.

As I wrote earlier today with a supporting chart.

USD JPY was Long = Either be Long or flat. Why the hell would you sell something that is rising?

Unless you are a very capable scalper trading short you would have been crushed.

Well It think many retail traders want to by yesterdays high which means I will be shorting. Short 111.20 have a small stop at 111.45 looking to tp at 109.30

I think there is some selling at 111.30 area if ti gets there. We shall see.

sl increased to 111.6, may or may not be a mistake. Really think it needs a retrace at the moment. I might hedge if it goes higher.

Reverse correlation, wouldn't say it's overly strong, but they often move in tandem that way.
