Notable good day on Tuesday. And notable losses on Thursday. Thursday had a divergence that spanned a huge price range after the news. Too far for me to hold through with sensible tolerance. My mistake was both re-entering and layering in at subsequent lows as the divergence continued, rather than cutting my single loss and waiting or calling it a day. Next time - one trade post news. If its a loss, call it done for the session.

Protection over Profit - loss prevention is more profitable over time than higher risk, profit acquisition (attempts).

Saw this yesterday. Applied to trading it's very accurate. Correctly identifying where you are within this isn't always clear cut. What is clear cut is that there are no results unless you are consistently executing.

Trump said stuff yesterday afternoon, so that made for some big and unpredictable moves. Reset the market a bit. Let's see if this morning brings any fish to fry 🎣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLAOzX3zTZY

Bullish sessions today as anticipated but no clean entries. Sell did hit TP1 (as per the scribble) this morning though. Now looking at this. Retracement and buy being preferable

Outlook

Note to self - the group chats and trading communities ARE the herd. They are the herd mentality. The security of the herd guarantees a collective result. A sameness. The herd result is not a profitable one.
