This is a good sign to yourself that maybe you aren't taking trading seriously enough. I would guess you are more worried about the profit/loss of the current trade, entry/exit, etc.. than learning or figuring something out. If you can do the ...

You are not following the rules of the exercise. I don't see that price moved below and closed below your swing on this chart. Also, if you are bullish bias and in an up move what are the rules of the exercise. And remember... you or anyone ...

Ultimately journal how it works for you, but you don't want to get sick of journaling and you want it to be simple but deeper than basics of listing price locations. Try something like... UP Bias, Up Move. Big range. Price goes below simple50 but ...

Again, typing out the plan won't mean much down the road... encourage you to post a picture and then support it with what are you learning about the chart, what are you feeling inside, are you seeing common themes from the last 4 months?

Apart from journalling, I am going through your thread again from the start. Initially, I placed the white line at the low of the swing which broke the last swing high, then as I was progressing studying the thread, i realised, its the lowest point ...

I thought your white line was 1827 or 1896, did you change it to 1710? Why? How does it feel to be in these 3 positions with drawdown? Is it stressful? If your line is where you show it at 1710, is there something striking about these entries? You ...

What did I learn doing things like this that you might learn... Well, on a week like this, maybe... - you would have felt the anxiety of an entry moving 60 pips against and not closing. - adding another entry when one is down a bunch, mind blowing. ...

Ideally, the exercise for this week would look like this... You see it as Up Bias. Price in up move. They match, have at it. If price is below the Idea #2 or Idea #3, enter straight away. So, you would enter on the 10th and 11th. Now, the exit is at ...

For the next few months, take every Simple50 and Pivot trade. Still follow the bias and directional rules. Don't close a trade until the chart confirms a change in direction and take profit when swings are challenged or broken. If you've had a good ...

As part of the exercise, I would have expected to see you go long immediately on Monday since you had a long bias and price was moving up. Price already below the #2 and #3 entry points so immediate entry. Obviously, you know enough that this is not ...

I would encourage you to use your journal to talk about the trades like this instead of listing entries, SL and targets. Focus more on the thought process you are having and not the specific facts. You'll have those in your trading history. If ...

A sincere question... Do you think you are following the rules of the exercise I gave you?

It never really stops being annoying, you get used to it and it loses its grip on you and no longer effects your day and/or your next trade. It's also a sign that you are trading at the highest level. You followed the rules, had a great result, and ...

Keep it simple until you have a bunch of these under our belt. If you thought to yourself, its below the s50 and it may not go very high... you see the danger. If you keep the analysis real simple, you say to yourself this is the first time in weeks ...

So did my bias. Pick a bias and stick with it. You don't just learn from trading, you learn just as much from not trading. With my bias, you could have tested yourself to see if you learned from your action last week. Looks familiar. You could have ...
