Some days the swing signals are just challenging...to say the least. When the dust settles, there are often more subtle signs you could have seen that were then outside your purview in the heat of trade entry decisions. Today, I had to look pretty hard even to find those. The trade models appeared, but price was simply not contained by them, and consequently I was repeatedly stp'd out. When such days appear, somethings the best you can do is contain your losses to no more than about the numerical value of a day's profit goals. Stay with your Trade Plan. Let the Plan'sbehavior stops take you out when loss limits are reached. Accept the outcome and resolve to come back fresh tomorrow. ...it's another day....
