"....a whole lot'a shakin' goin' on.", as Elvis would say. ...but every trade was according to plan, and unlike yesterday, took an early stp-n-rev breakout, but this one, also unlike yesterday, was not clean and I net no profit from it. But still examining yesterday, especially my mindset at the inflection levels, as to why I balked so badly at one of the key bull breakout levels of the day. Keep learning. The best source to the improvement of your trading is always the history of your own trades and entry decisions. What Technical Event Entry Models are supported by your Trade Plan? Do they seem to be the right ones for positioning in-trend or end-of-trend? If not, what changes might be considered for change... and how many days of testing and observation can you support such changes with? If the Entry Models are good..., then what mental landscape might you find yourself impeded by at the moment those models are appearing at the right edge of your video screen. What is keeping you out of the best trades? Consider. Reflect. Adjust. Commit. Establish discipline. Stay focused on the rules.
