    Must get an early night and try for a full day of trading tomorrow, heads getting back in the game, so could be a good day ie PROFIT for once LOL

    trade smart, don't move the SL the wrong way, right way fine losing less fine, but not MORE!!

    Don't let my losses multiply and I'm golden, it's fairly simple really and don't fall for dump ass, move it up just to obviously reverse it traps!!

    Getting better at micro managing, moved my way, ran the sl up and took a BE exit before the -2 sl hit, it all helps.

    What i missed was the run up was a fake, method called it, top of the 13 channel and dumped so fast the suckers that bought on the way up havent got time to react .

    Obviously its not personal and after ME but they know how retail act in general andthey know how to take our cash.

    So basically I have been sucked back into trading like retail doh!

    Had a short top of the 13, got lucky for once spiked down out +12 good to have a profit, need more practice taking profits.

    No trades since, range us to small for HA sadly, should of been reversing spikes with the trend and getting rich lol

    Priority's...

    1 stick to aggressive loss reduction plan, micro manage, stay away from big losers and don't worry about the small losers if i take a few in a row, don't get emotional and sk movey.

    2. Let profits run, which way offsets losers if kept small.

    3. As losses are minimal, start taking more trades with the trend

    4. Don't trade like retail losers, opposite only.

    5. RETIRE



    Simples

    Another 11pts could of been 18 no.2 needs work, stalled to many times so took it, 1 second later breaks out, thinking like retail.

    Solve 1 then trading becomes stress free as the next trade won't be your last :)



    +17 so far, 3 more for BE on the week, +20 on the week would be a good new start.



    Getting there :)

    Stupid trade, looked like buyers after a dump, went long, it went lower -9

    SL failed to auto go in to, took the order the 0.2 seconds later it tried to setup the SL it failed as too close, that could be a pain, not seen that before.

    p.s. I got emotional, should of bailed -2 in seeing I was wrong, but didn't move SL, try to average myself out of it, so progress!!

    Time to do this :-

    Too fast for me this time of day and an 8 SL, 1 lasted 5seconds closed -6 then a small profit as it's likely a bad trade +2.

    +4 on the day here.

    US Open hour, needs to be stayed away from, just whipping around hitting anyone stupid enough to be trading with a tight SL doh!!

    Wishing I was short still, trying to break down!
