I saw price respecting bearish gaps and i jumped in, so bad, then didn't stick to my BREAKEVEN, no clue what happened today just traded like an idiot, will never happen again, might take tomorrow off to rethink.
Honestly this was just a fomo trade, plain and simple, so bad from and down 1.2% across accounts, there was a judas swing at open into a 15min FVG and a 2minIFVG out of for a perfect 1 to 1 and i didn't take as i hesitated, then fomo into these short.
I’m back, took some time off trading console personal things and I didn’t want to go into the markets with bad mental.
Had a $6k payout declined which messed with my head.
So I’m officially back to trading next week Monday and journaling everything.
Let’s get it.
You know some times I sit on the charts and see perfect setups and something in me doesn’t allow me to take it, I’ve missed 2 setups this week where hesitation took over, so that is what I’ll be working on a lot, getting over my hesitation to trade
Should be up this week…
No trades for me today
Saw a premarket short out of NDOG but don't want to trade premarket
BIAS was bullish out of untapped 4H fvg that was discounted targeting NDOG, did not get anything
Hope fully Friday treats me well.
Below: Premarket trade.
What I would have taken today
DOL - NWOG
Prices opened into a 1H FVG and took a 2min IFVG targeting DOL, we also had SMT with ES at the lows
I didn’t take this as my broker was down today not sure why
But a good 4.21 rr
@mikoaodu 100% man
But what I do is I get my journals out and write down my model and again, the rules ab what to look for, then I say stick to plan, my back tested data is real and accurate so I can continue to maintain discipline and trade my model
The reason I post
It’s to hold my self accountable for what I do in my trading journey.
I’ve struggled a lot already and I want it to be worth it. So I will post when I break rules and I’m stupid and I will post when I follow rules and get rewarded
I love the journey.
@mikoaodu My discipline to follow structure
I have my rules, losses will come but I know my model wins, so me being disciplined is what happens before, posting is what allows me to look back and review mistakes and wins
My goal is to enjoy the journey so much that I get lost in it and achieving my goal becomes easy.
I’m extremely close to my goal, what stands between it is ME, that’s why I’m posting so I can beat me and make this dream a reality
We love adversity.
How I lost $318 today
Two RDM
Not the best setups in my opinion
But risked was managed and lossy 3 trades only down 0.7 % so glad about that
But good setups rules followed we go again tomorrow
I did want shorts from the 1 hour gap but closed that trade.
