Both DXY and EUR look nice.

GU just needs to BMS on the LTF to enter short after the high was just taken.

Told myself I would demand the best set ups out of the markets and I've done just that.

Could've jumped in early and attempted to ride the small bearish move earlier today, but as you can see it didn't really go anywhere.

In fact, I'm expecting another retracement up to balance the range before my actual entry is given.

Not saying I can't be stopped out even after having the discipline to wait, but i'll rather be stopped out of a entry i know was justified over an entry I hoped was justified.

Unjustified entries usually result in a stop of some sort. For me I can feel the emotional trauma build from stops(even stop profits)and can cause me to slip into a habit loop of undisciplined trading styles.

NO MORE.

Gave nothing up top so ill call the week there most likely.
Note
This is what I would consider unfavorable market conditions.
Note
Could still sell off, but im good.

What I notice most right now is the lack of emotional attachment to the set up.

I want to protect that.
