Sometimes the action itself discourages trades, choppiness, whiplash action, etc. But this is usually just weakness on our part. The signals are there, or they reappear after stp-outs, and it simply requires bigger heart to step back into them. Thus is was today on an earlier short opportunity coming off the initial highs. Because of managing the trades itself, I lost focus on what the signals were and how those signals were being re-created. Trading requires that difficult dichotomy of being totally focused but relaxed at the same time. Note what's really in front of you and trade what you see when price fulfills an entry model you have pre-selected as part of your Trade Plan.
