So..., had a plan..., modified the plan..., then said to hell with it..., and threw the plan out the window Price was within your plan - but you had to grab something Then..., you were knocked off your game and missed the next trade Yet you have the above expectation ================= Plan each trade..., then follow that plan through to fruition No where in the above mantra does it say; J..., by all means fiddle fuck with your plan..., in fact some plans..., mess with..., other plans..., let em ride ================ We will continue down this path until you decide enough - until then ================== One could say; well..., price made a volatile move and threw me off why we have plans - then follow the damn things why we remain objective why we know price will be volatile some times - roll with it why we are willing to lose to find out How so.., seriously ====================== Just some thoughts..., no ass jumping RN
How so.., seriously Wasn't sure if this was a question or rhetorical. My other trades I was very calm and detached. Even had a bite of what I was snacking on while in a trade rather than hovering over mouse. It's a small step towards where I want to get to. "See ya" tomorrow RN. Thanks. jas
+49 ticks Yesterday I decided the only time i'll move my target is when I am positive on the day and market conditions justify increasing target. Yesterday I was negative on the day and should have just left my original target. And having said that , I need to be careful I'm not increasing targets often. Base hits and sticking with the plan shows a very nice edge. Today CL had already had a big move down when I began my session. It was a volatile day with big swings. The kind of day I've struggled with in the past either from getting stopped out or getting very frustrated from missing moves. Today I traded pretty well. Third trade I exited early +9 based on a resistance level not being taken out. I consider it a break of my plan. I should have given it more time. Given the big down day and i was long I'm not going to beat myself up over this one. But i need to be aware of what I'm doing. At that point I was + 37. I did a good job recognizing chop and waited for what looked like a triangle break. It turned into a range and I ended up with 3 losses. I noticed some frustration and had the thought of "I should have stopped when I was + 37". Somehow I was able to quickly let the frustration go and re-focus. Soon i saw another set up. This was a clear break of the range which had the potential to test LOD if it could clear some support. As it held support the thoughts of exiting for +15 or so came up. I stayed calm and held. This was also a chance to increase target if it did begin to break. Exited +47 and got filled as I was trying to increase target even more. Price did run another 40 ticks. Overall I think I managed my emotions well and mostly kept them out of the session.
Good job jas. Like how you stayed with it......refocused when you found yourself a bit "foggy". AWARENESS -js
