The choice to take the first entry on the third trade meant the difference between being -3R down and breakeven!!
A poor start to November so far, the key thing is consistency, patience and marking up the A-B-C patterns in real-time.
Regarding the sell loser due to FOMO…
I’m reminded of how when there are two valid options to enter a trade it’s maybe best to:
Always take the second better value option!!
This means having the discipline to ignore the first option and accept it if it goes on to win without you. Once again, a limit order can help in this situation.
- Reason it out.
- Setup limit order (trap).
- Go do something else to avoid FOMO if price stalls on way to trade entry.
I’ve just updated the Trading Plan with this point.
I should have taken the GZ M5 MAB@11484.4 that followed the last loser, it was a decent setup yet I passed, why?
I allowed three losers to affect my taking a good setup.
I identified two sell entries, one at 11516.8, the other at 11504.7 = 61.8 of Golden High-Low zone.
The Trade Tool is positioned where I planned to enter at 11516.8, however, my second option drew me in when price stalled and FOMO kicked in.
I entered and look what happened!!
As I type price is selling off further 🙁
The M15 and H1 charts BOTH highlighted option one as the best value, why did I get drawn in??
It was FOMO of course and another reason to consider a Limit Order and walk away or at least minimize the charts and do something else once you identified the setup and entry criteria.
That’s three straight losers today.
I’ve taken two losers in quick succession 🙁
The first was a Sell Limit M5 MAB just above Yes low. It spiked through it for -1.29R. I liked the setup, I used the limit order as I planned to leave my desk.
It was close to being a winner, more fine margins….
I then took the GZ M1 Buy MAB on the retrace to Yes Low and the M5 EQZ@11468 and the H1 Bear Mid-Channel, structurally decent but did not work out.
A challenging ranging market…..
Hmmm that sell limit is the best example of the need of a pending order capable to get activated on the way down rather than on the way up!! Remember our discussion?
You beat me to it!!
I do remember our trip down to A&E, very memorable 🙂
This is exactly the condition we spoke of so how cool is it that yesterday I finally finished sealing the garage and have some free energy to put to work.
Everything in its time………
I hadn’t thought about that before, that would be a really good tool!
