Determined to look elsewhere for trades today as a result of day before yesterday's missed opportunities in the ES and NQ while fumbling with incomplete Entry Models for the TF. Have only the process of journaling for that. Have a Plan. That Plan has rules and models. Include no model that does not work far more often than it fails. Take the trade if the criteria of the model are met, regardless of what you may read on 'the tape', or assume about the trend. For the Trader, Trade Models ARE the trend. He knows no other. And the TF is not the only contract on the board worthy of the Plan. Stay disciplined.
