What a Great Idea, lol. I look forward to your list. Again, I don't know the art and intuition of trade entry, just some blood simple setups at support and resistance, measured moves, pivs kinds of stuff. That's fine even tho the waiting is the hardest part, lol. This is a situation that I'd not considered. Thank you for the head's-up.
It's only noise if you let it in. If you focus on repeatable technique, you can filter out most of the noise. It's really simple, MMs and big money want to use fear to confuse you and steer you the wrong way. They want to keep traders confidence in the market up, so traders will blame themselves and keep trading. Understanding how they do that puts you in a good driver's seat. There is some craft to this, but it can all be learned by picking up the puzzle pieces bit by bit. You sound like an inquisitive mind, which is good.
It can save you some money. You also can use that as an "alert" when it's time to sell, so you don't sell it all too early with a standing order. It gives you a chance to evaluate it before pulling the trigger.
I too traded many markets and timeframes with often disappointing results even with spending la lot of time trading. Since about 1 year I daytrade about a couple of hours from 4 to 6 pm (living in Switzerland). I trade 4 indices, namely the US30, N200, UK and German DAX. And I avoid the open, waiting for nice waves to trade, using alerts and safeguards. Never before traded so easy and safe. I know of many guys doing the same; some of them digital nomads making € 5'000 a day in a couple of hours.

You're exactly right. Emotion is the only reason traders lose money, and all of his comments are emotional, nothing about trading or craft, demonstrating he's still struggling with how to trade well. He's not seasoned. Pros trade with the following in mind: 1) - the market doesn't care 2) - missed deals don't matter 3) - find the next trade, execute well Your head sounds level. Your account will grow and pros will always be willing to help you. Kudos.
