Data failures from Ninjatrader historical servers for CQG today plagued the early going, and missed several trade entry models, especially the TF Low of Day. Fortunately, the volatility allowed counter trend models to work pretty well, at least until the NQ was nearing a climax. There is a sense of being anxious that can come of fear of missing a trade entry as the market is spiking into final structure signals and exhaustion zones. But this is a bad habit of mine that must be better examined. Usually, after such sustained moves, there are retests or pauses at the extremes that give you all the time to clear your mind and enter when the price patterns have better settled in. Don't be rushed into a trade just because you just got stopped out of another. Revenge means nothing to the market. It doesn't know what you're feeling and can't be affected by it. Accept your stp-outs, stay cool. Wait for the trade to gel. Even that extra minute might keep you out of a bad trade entry.
