you are ALWAYS trading 'conviction', you can't escape it. when i open my charting program i'm thinking, "this is a down day", "this is that", "this is whatever" always a bias, lurking.
It was a bad entry, but are you going to do the work to figure out why it was a bad entry? (hint: it was not a bad entry because the trade was a loss - assuming you are not still holding it down almost 9 handles. I make many good entries that end in scratches or small losses. Still good entries. You need to answer for yourself why it was a bad entry. Otherwise you're just going to keep making them.
i think the point is lost on YOU, because I have NO clue what are you TRYING to say but don't want to ..SAY come out with it? we are trading here, we don't have time to dick around with your ..riddles.
