Several breakout signals that were In-Plan were passed today as had a minimum profit target already in hand. And yet nothing hurts one's psyche more than a trade that pays off so well once passed on. ...far more painful than even trades that lose. Just so it is with trading. When volatile breakouts occur, sitting on the sidelines is painful, and causes you doubt if your Trade Plan does not include them. Breakouts can be vital to a trading plan. Just be precise about their accompanying filters and avoid going into a hole for the day insisting that the next one will finally work out. Stay disciplined.
