The Fog Of War...
As we expected, over the weekend, the US struck Iran's nuclear facilities.
The first trading session after an event like these, if you are inexperienced, prone to be emotional or exhibit gambler's tendencies... sit it out.
Manual Intervention is likely in these conditions as sentiment is extremely charged.
Where emotions abide... foolish actions manifest in Traders... don't be a statistic.
Be safe.
When I started this journey, I was obsessed with trying to figure out the direction of price. But my timing was off even when I was right on the direction. After many years and thousands of trades, I now understand that TIME comes before price. What a journey it has been! 🙏🏽
We got wrecked today…got married to a bias and ignored what price was showing us. Went over the daily risk and it was just a shit show all around. Gotta get back in form. Live to fight another day.
Gapped over so many highs anyone short is crying. I’m salivating at the volatility but need to be patient. Will only take longs near LoD if we sweep intraday liquidity. Tight risk, we’ll let price dictate where it wants to go short term.
Had to exercise some discipline to not touch the price action today. Couldn’t get involved long and certainly wasn’t gonna short tops until we take out the liquidity above 182.60. Till then, not much for me here.
Rarely take trades in the afternoon session but this setup was too good to pass. Finally got that sweep of the HTF liquidity along with LoD. Took most off at key levels and holding a runner in case we rebalance higher, risk free. Overall, good execution.
