But that is the nature of trading. That's why it's so hard and so frustrating. Just when you think you might have something, the markets slap you round the face like the old Batman and Robin meme.
But this week I really did trade well, I FTS, I added, I let trades 'breathe'. I was just unlucky that there seemed to be considerable volatility in individual candles, and so I got stopped out on a number of occasions, by literally 0.5 of a point, and then the market took off in my direction. It is what it is. It's trading. But now for definite, I am working on a scalping strategy. The hardest part will be knowing when to implement it, but again that is not something you can predict with any certainty because you don't know what the next candle is going to do. My default will be to execute my strategy initially until proven wrong and then look to scalp. Also, I may be a little more patient and let the market develop past the time I usually take my first trade, especially if there is volatility or what looks like the beginning of a TR forming. After all, super human patience is what makes money in trading. Super...human...patience.
