MY BIGGEST FAILURE : I realize that not implementing my stop loss was a significant mistake. However, after revisiting the analysis, it became evident that AUDUSD is currently experiencing a strong bullish trend on higher time frame charts. It has already completed a significant breakout, spanning 800 pips. Nevertheless, it is important to note that breakouts on shorter time frame charts, such as the one-minute chart, may not hold the same validity when considering longer time frames like days.
Additionally, I still observe a pullback on the 12-hour time frame chart, and the current price is within the zone of the 12-hour chart, indicating a potential counter trend entry. This analysis highlights two primary issues. Firstly, I deviated from my usual strategy of focusing on key price breakouts and instead experimented with a trendline strategy, which was new to me. Secondly, I made the mistake of not executing stop losses in a timely manner, resulting in a 5% drawdown that I have already resolved.
To rectify these problems, I must adhere to a crucial rule: never enter a trade unless a key breakout is clearly visible. This particular oversight has trapped me in this situation, which is a first-time occurrence compared to previous trades I have posted on my ideas wall
