Today was a good practice session for conflicting trade signals in the early going, and by the time the frame was done, sore necks were everywhere from all the whiplash. And I got so absorbed at one point in finding likely low with those conflicting signals, that when it came, I actually missed it, and had to be woken up from my brain lock by a sharp student who knew what to do.... doh. Clear your head periodically, especially when the action is gets bewildering and you are being stp'd out of trades more than usual. Step back and look at the bigger picture. Assess the potential models from both viewpoints. Be ready to strike when what was unlikely just moments before has actually just come to fruition. Stay disciplined.
