For me, breakout trades are the big mental block. And there's always an excuse not to take them when they appear to match the filters required in my Trade Plan. Today, in sharp contrast to yesterday's cold porridge, Goldie Lock's porridge was way too hot to handle, and that was my excuse for not buying several breakout levels after the reversal got started from the LOD. (low of day). And because of it's extra volatility on breakouts but lower price per pt risk, will add a rule to Trade Plan to take all 2nd trend NQ inflections at the Sequent and SubSequent levels. Perhaps that will help ease me past the mental block that has kept me taking no breakouts whatsoever. Have a Plan. Trade the Plan.
