2/19/20 The Week so FarI'm learning to accept these harder weeks as the better opportunities for me to become a great trader. Of course I love it when every position I take jumps out at me and earns me a profit, but I remember a point when I would avoid the charts entirely after a string of either losses or missed opportunities. It's so important to continue to trade with an unbiased approach as you look to identify good trades rather than "profitable" trades. As I always mention, this trading game is all about probabilities and consistency, money is just a byproduct.
Missed Opportunities/Good Trades Bad Outcomes - HumbledUSD/CAD pyramid pattern showing signs of not forming
CHF/JPY entry missed
EUR/USD exited before a big profitable drop
Some days are just like this, I'll recoup by putting time in and recognizing which trades were just too risky for me to have predicted and which ones were a product of me not putting in the time to ID them. I like these days, they remind me of the improvement I still have remaining.
Positions I'm Holding over the Weekend - Recap Vid USD/CAD building my position
EUR/USD 2nd trade triggered and currently on-route to profit target
CAD/JPY adjustment trade slow to move, currently close to break-even
CHF/JPY no chance to continue bullish at this point, waiting for an entry to ride bearish momentum down.
CHF/JPY just doesn't want to give me an entry!! lolJust a quick video update of what I'm seeing, what I need to see and my indifference on whether or not I take the trade. Honestly, this game is all about taking what you are given and letting go of what you can't control... See the Fastball before hitting it.
CHF/JPY waiting patiently for the rejection (Daily Chart)CHF/JPY is currently on a trendline and I'm going to use the intraday charts to time an entry once we get a rejection candle. I'm unsure as to how the actual entry will play out, but I typically jump in this style trade as soon as I see the rejection candle close rather than looking for a confirmation candle then pullback to pivot intraday.
