Sometimes volatility can be a bit overwhelming, and today's two-sided action induced me to enter shorts on the way back up too soon, having not found the signals to buy at the first frame lows. A final set of sell signals were clear and afforded decent short swings from the highs, but I was already too negative on the day to do anything but play catch-up to losses....and with too many trades and commissions, didn't quite even do that. Keep calm during moments of surprise price bursts. Regard the structure, the exhaustion grid and the momentum and just stay in the game. Cool head prevail, even if they don't always profit...
