The S&P 500 set a record close on Tuesday.
The Fed's minutes said another hike is likely by year end, and Governor Waller agreed.
The 10-year Treasury yield eased anyway, from 5.31% to 5.24%.

You can probably list every mistake you made this week.
Now list what you did right.
Harder, isn't it?
That's a problem. The rule you kept under pressure is a skill. Ignore it and you never build on it.
You need both lists:
Your habit leaks, so you know what to fix.
Your strengths, so you know what's already working.
The free Trade90X NEPP AI Coach helps you find both. Five quick questions on how you actually trade, and a plan comes to your email.
Free. No card. Never a pick.

Slow market. Itchy finger. You already know how this ends.
3 signs you're trading out of boredom, not a setup:
1. You flip timeframes until one "looks" right.
2. An hour with no trade starts to feel like failing.
3. If someone asked, you'd call the setup "kind of."
The fix:
Decide before the open what a good no-trade day looks like. Write it down.
Then a slow market is just slow. Not a dare.
Know a trader who's itching to click right now?

@BenedictDFirst Holding phase one for seven months says a lot about your patience. What would need to change so all that discipline actually shows up as growth?
You have a tell. Everyone can see it but you.
Poker pros have one before a bluff.
Traders have one right before a bad trade.
Which one is yours?
A. Your breathing gets short and fast
B. Your hand drifts to the size box
C. You start talking out loud to the chart
D. You open “one more chart, just to look”
The tell shows up before the trade does. Spot it and you buy yourself a few seconds to stop.

@Candlesticks001 As a swing trader, until I learn to wait for favorable and trending conditions, I’ll never be profitable. 19 accounts already blown. Blew the most recent a couple of days ago. I go again!!
@futureachold@GHAITH_ICT Being $100 away hurts more than missing by $1,000. You clearly know how to trade the account, so the skill is there for the next one.
@chimiofweb3@JasonJeron Interesting that the instant account hit harder than the eval. Was it the tighter rules or knowing it was real money from day one?
@Christopath_02 A day after blowing everything in anger, feeling stuck is normal. Your head is still processing yesterday, so a slow morning isn't wasted.
@AbohOwoich6970 When the entry feels unclear, what are you waiting to see before you click? If you can't say it in one sentence before price gets there, that's usually where the confusion starts.
@futureachold@GHAITH_ICT That's the worst kind of loss, when the trade was fine and the platform took it. A lag plus a double click can turn a good day into a blown account in seconds.
@hitansh337 Owning it like that is half the fix. When an account's already in drawdown, what's your rule now for how many trades you'll take to dig it out?
@DamnGoodTrading Brutal, and you're not the only one this happens to. A huge payout week makes the next trade feel safe, which is exactly when the size creeps up. Walking away today is the right call.
