"Trading is 90% mental," or so my mentor would often assert. "And the rest of it is in your head," would he always quickly add. And just so today did my mental impatience build for buying a desired MNQ pullback during its initial trend higher, using my fractal algorithm as guide, until that prescribed pullback finally did appear. ... but unfortunately, just when an 'old school' chart pattern, comprised of Pre-Break Pause Triggers broke down my appraised pullback opportunity into a total collapse in the opposite direction. But so fixated on that pullback, I ignored the old school breakdown opportunity to go short with the break, and instead, repeatedly tried to catch the ensuing piano drop from its 4th story window, as my pullback landed square on my head. OUCH. Trend prejudice. It's a killer.
Not until after taking a break to rest and restore myself from my anguish did I return just in time to witness the Noon Hour High, to find the allusive pullback opp I was looking for, but this time in the opposite direction, and took a nice 3-sets of 3 MNQ shorts.
This time, ...but this time with all the required Technical Event components necessary for a Trade Entry present simultaneously appearing at the right edge of my video screen, including the algo Serial Sequent, the True Trend Momentum Indicator, the Grid (first return to the 200), and the blessed add-in Time Marker, the Noon Hour High. ...thus, the justification for taking 3 sets of 3, and a nice wound healing for my otherwise miserable 1st Frame trade day.
