Traders tend to look for trades when it's convenient to arrive at work that day. "I'll just jump in and find a few trades. But the market is not always so accommodating. Today, unable to make the opening bell, I stepped in at the 2nd Trend and got stop'd out repeatedly trying to fade it. The trades normally taken had already appeared in the first hour, but I felt I 'needed' to trade, and misapplied one method in the wrong place. ...I got what I deserved. If you can't make to work on time for the opening bell, consider just watching for awhile, and take stock of what is really occurring in the bigger picture. Because from down in the weeds of a fractal algorithm, incomplete trade signals can be very deceiving.
