For the fourth time in just the past few weeks, have failed to take a key breakout model in my Trade Plan. And today, added big to the pain by trying to fade that same breakout model, stubbornly unable to get my hat around to be in sync. Changing habits is not easy. And this particular model seems not to set off the important dinner bell whenever it approaches. The habit of fading into the thrust being far too ingrained into my trade behavior. This has to be fixed. In recent months, have successfully added one or two other breakout models into the Plan. And have continued taking them, even after occasional failure to produce profits. But this one requires more rehearsal, so I'll review again all the screen captures and go after more consideration and mental practice. Remain determined. Make the change. The market will never change for you. The only thing in life you can effectively change is yourself, no matter how tempting it is to think otherwise, no matter how hard change is to accomplish.
