Now back 4 or 5 posts - when i said it looks like it wanted to go up..., and had I stuck to my thinking I would be hatin life right now Trade what you see / not what you think (and full disclosure - i have not traded any of this - I simply can't focus on 2 things at once) Volume coming in btw We'll see RN
having the patience to sit and observe is very important is this business btw, I readjusted the green and yellow TLs.. and extended the blue lines (current range) - on the 5 min eta - the green line on the 5 min now closer matches the UMTL on the 15 (and Slugar this is why paying attention to details ... and being precise - matter greatly) RN
Ever hear a trader say - made money in the morning.., lost it in the afternoon Must be adaptable to the PA environment Ain't a one of us able to force price to do anything btw - as I was writing this.., price BO to the down side hard RN
Vol came in - likely it the stops / dumps / and eager (impatient) short entries - we'll see if it has follow through Volume must be read in context (this takes a while to learn) RN
Seldom pays to enter eagerly red box is the pain felt by being one of the eager shorts RN eta - stick a fork in me... done for now
When I last posted; Price was demonstrating how stupid I am How having / holding an opinion is not wise How the eager get punished How even though price was signaling it wanted to do one thing â it did the exact opposite ==================== So where did price end the day â believe it or not â right back in that range where I said it was acting like it wanted to go up â go figure Wonder how many â long / shorts got screwed today Wonder how many left feeling like they are a competent trader â simply because price came back and saved their ass My whole series of posts today Was not about being right or wrong Nor was it about forming an opinion and trading it â which is another quirk with this business One must actâ¦, decidedly and decisively â without ever forming an opinion on the matter â without ever taking it personally â and without regard to what happens next Over and over â till retirement My posts were about trading & about being a trader Trade what you see Roll with price Screw your opinion Have patience â as much patience as it takes Donât rush to enter Sitting through pain â greatly expends oneâs mental capital â not the mention the monetary if price does not come back That one can ultimately be right â yet still be wrong & broke (timing is important) And though I did not explicitly say it - when wrong â get out while the loss still small =================== Which.., speaking of losses ⦠as Iâm sitting here thinkingâ¦. and though Iâve taken thousands â if not tens of thousands of small losses â I canât recall a single oneâ¦. Not one Yet of the losersâ¦, I allowed to grow and piss away my capital â destroy my account â screw with my head â more than once (because I am obviously too stupid to learn the first time) I can recall each one vividly â like each happened yesterday Such is the business weâre in - best get your head screwed on straight and be mentally prepared every day RN
Again... not a call We'll simply see what Monday brings Price does not like being in the 56.48 vicinity - which is not to say it won't return... even bust down and through it But so far - it hasn't like it RN
