A critical signal juncture came today some minutes after the opening, just as I was getting to my screen late for the day. Maybe that's my excuse for not wrapping my head around the short signal, and using poor partial entry model signals for trying to fade that early action. ....or maybe I would have done the same thing, even if I had gotten to work on time.... but in any case, is a good reminder not to get your computer booted up and charts populated after the day is already underway, and start jumping into trades. If you come in that late....just watch for awhile. So what if you miss the whole frame. It took me well into the midday frame just to dig myself out of that early hole. ...and that's no way to trade a day.
