Sometimes knowing when to quit for the frame is half the battle. ...but it's especially hard to stop when / if your just shy of your 1st Frame goal, and just need one more trade to cap it off and go to coffee... But sometimes this one more trade leads to having to dig yourself out of a hole, clear into negative PnL for the day... and those days often seem flat out worse than facing a losing day right from the get-go. And just so it was today when the Test n Reject morning left me trying to fade the second trend selling too soon. ...and to cap it off, acknowledging the 2nd trend is serious, the temptation is equally strong to get in sync with that selling on pullbacks so as to get in sync with the glaring 2nd trend. ....but those pullbacks are seldom 'gimmies' from an extreme climax selling low. Note to self: pullbacks from extreme momentum spikes seldom deliver technically 'normal' pullbacks. The rubber band gets stretched. ...just so does it snap back further than anticipated. Or, just go to coffee earlier next time....
