There's something to be learned everyday from your trading. ....especially on days that you lose. Today, it was less my trading and more my trade plan that failed me. Without a confluence of indicators at the turns, I was leaning heavily on the internal structure algorithm we call Serial Sequent. But the important turns came at specific numbers from the Pivot Exhaustion Grid without the confluence of that algorithm. I have seen this many times before...and enough so that it must kick me into a research mode to consider a partial position with these important elements do not arrive in tandem, regardless of which is absent at the time. Have Plan. Stick to that Plan. Keep an open mind about what's in that Plan, and make changes to it only reluctantly and carefully. Because once included, a Plan's Entry Models must be taken with only the filters that accompany that particular model, trend opinions and apprehensions notwithstanding.
