A key stp-n-rev breakout trade was missed today on the short side, even after a successful short had already been near the High-of-Day just minutes prior. For some reason, had assumed some bullish trend prejudice and didn't see my way to the key elements clearly visible requiring a neutral stance that would accept further failure of the pullback as trigger and signal of a deeper reversal. When we get fixated on a trend belief, it's as if we won't let our minds hear what our eyes are already seeing. As Heraclitus noted, 'Fools, although they hear, are like the deaf'. Take a screen capture of those moments. Recall where your head was at the turn. Listen to what you should have heard. The market is always telling you the best places to enter if you'll only observe without prejudice and listen.
