Soultrader,
you had a great day yesterday, and took 4 short trades and had my worst day yet. It amazes me that I was so unaware of my foolishness with these countertrend trades. If I had done my homework and was more aware that just yesterday the low
value area found no initiative selling and no followthrough, this would have told me buyers are now more confident to take prices back through value and watch for a strong TREND DAY. My focus was on a Gap fill on the short side.
Some day Market Profile will be more ingrained and my visualization and understanding in my learning curve will survive my equity curve drawdown before I lose it all.
I am learning so much from your ways Soultrader, since joining Traders Laboratory I have begun to learn new methods that I want to stay with, that are based upon floortraders pivots, market profile, and market delta. My trading weaknesses still prevail and I am having to burn to learn. Right now I have to remind myself that I am fulfilled in the process and not the outcomes, however, my positive expectancy and trust is being tested daily.
