Trading is a journey, and not every trade is a winner. My recent XRP/USD position didn’t play out as expected. I went in with a bullish bias off the 4H timeframe, using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) for direction and entry. My analysis was aligned with inducements, CHoCH, and order block retests, but the market had other plans this time.
Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Stick to the Plan: The setup followed my strategy, and though it didn’t work out, I trust my process. Losses are part of trading. 2️⃣ Risk Management is King: Keeping my risk low ensured this loss didn’t impact my account too heavily. 3️⃣ Market Lessons: Every loss is an opportunity to refine, reflect, and improve for the next move.
Even the best setups can fail, but consistency and discipline keep us in the game. The journey continues!
