1st Frame Journal
One of the worst things about a winning streak, even a modest one, is the vulnerability it leaves you with when an unusually difficult trading frame presents itself. You just can't believe your stuff isn't working. Today's difficult 1st Frame of trading after a series of winning trading days came with its own over-confidence nuance: almost all of the early signals came with the required Trade Entry Concept criteria, but I still couldn't manage to stay in positions at the perceived turning zones because of the relentless volatility that exceeded my stop-loss amounts.... and here is where I made my real mistake.... I kept trading anyway. After all, it was working just the way it is supposed to be, according to the rules of Serial Sequent, TrueTrend Momentum, Leadership Divergence, and all the rest... so why shouldn't I just keep trying...? because Behavior Management Rules supersede all. It doesn't matter why you are losing.... moreover, it doesn't matter why you should be winning... If you are still losing, the reasons will present themselves all in good time. Respect your money. Step aside... ...maybe things will settle down in the MidDay Frame, or after the 2:30 pm ET Transition Marker.
2nd Frame Journal: Again, the later day signals saved me, as I crawled back to a very meager profit with two nearly perfect, sweeping, short entry opportunities.
