Test, test, test and then repeat the exact rules the same way each and every time. It's uncanny how the human mind works and that these 2 sample trades have shown doing the exact opposite each time would have turned a profit or kept the loss small.
I know that doesn't help with the loss, but hopefully this was a great learning experience for you and those reading the thread. The key is to be consistent in your trading. Jumping from one setup, indicator, etc to the next will not make you money over the long term. Once you have proven to yourself that the trading system you have works, then work it.
I think in the end it's all about confidence - if you are confident in your entry, stops and exit strategy, you can take the trades w/o hesitating. If you are unsure of your setups, then 2nd guessing will play with your mind all day long.
