If you're able to distinguish between realistic analysis and rationalization, fine. If not, slam the door on hope and go ahead and scratch.
Aside from all the lines and scratches, don't lose sight of the fact that price has gone nowhere for an hour. It's perfectly okay to say "enough" and come back some other time.
This is not easy for most. Their egos won't allow them to scratch. But it's absolutely essential if one is going to be successful long-term.
The thing in RT is fear and hope, and freezing because of it. Since we started this last batch of exercises I feel fear has been reduced substantially. But still an issue (can only know for sure with money on the line), that is why I decided to come back to the bride´s thread and polish some things before moving forward.
Yep, but I guess there are times when you need to scratch and other time when you need to give prices a breathe. Still not able to tell the difference yet, but I know that if I hold on I will get there. As G said, just keep swimming.
