I should be happy with today but I left a lot of points on the table with as good as the market was trending, still trying to catch too many small moves . ended up +30 points. chart to come after I pick up my daughter from school
The skill you're describing takes time to develop - and even then its never completely idiot proof (and the losses significant) 1.) We never know its a trending day till afterward 2.) A strategy that keeps one in on a trending day - will decimate one's account on ranging / volatile / reversal days (swing traders can afford to "sit through some this"..., we simply cannot tolerate any of it) 3.) Any move that goes against us - could be the one 4.) Become okay with missing while waiting on the next signal I missed a lot today just sitting and watching - but then..., I also made enough And for Christ sake quit hind-sighting Yes..., You should be happy dammit..., so long as you followed each trade plan RN
Looked at the chart Your only job right now..., is to learn to be a trader - definitely not to piss money away..., and not to be hugely profitable Simply a trader... doing day in... and day out - the routine of following each plan..., the routine of grinding it out... the routine of patiently waiting on your signals....the routine of singles..., sometimes maybe a double And of course..., the routine of managing (controlling) each loser wax on..., wax off ====================== You done good today Sir RN
