Sometimes buy signal in one contract can come at the same time as a sell signal arrives in another. In Serial Sequent rules, the outcome can depend on which, if either, is also a stp-n-rev signal when if the raw turn signal fails. This inflection only occurs at certain junctures. You have to think fast on your feet. Today, I succeeded in going with the NQ stp n rev short signal while the TF was flashing an intial buy. I managed to bite my tongue just a minute delay in the TF buy signal to stay with the NQ short. That worked for an initial NQ short profit, but I also lost focus of the TF exhaustion zone reversal, and before I knew it, TF had reversed so sharply that it was too far to chase. But signals in the NQ continued to appear, so just stayed with it, till something clearer in the TF showed its face. Trading requires tremendous focus. Any off balance to one's mental state can affect your game tremendously. If there are other, outside issues influencing your morning, don't trade. Walk away from the screen. It doesn't matter what the numbers are tomorrow. Tomorrow is the same day, but will just different numbers. You won't miss a thing. Stay disciplined.
