A frame without TF profits is like a day without sunshine.... You have to stay very alert. Today's initial bullish 3-Bar ORB play turned quickly into a bearish Matched Highs ORB short, but I was caught with eyes in headlights and could't get my hat turned back around to get short where I was getting stp'd out. That was all the difference in at least getting to b/e in the TF today, and netting some better profit for the total. Re-live your mistakes. Then rehearse what you should have done. It's like a new dance move. Be prepared when the music changes like that again. When you only trade the 1st frame, there's very little excuse not to stay focused....
