i tell myself, i know it. overconfidence can kill me
but i made some live trades
applying the new theory, wide stops
long nq 3850 ishes in the morning , i and i got out for 15 points (imagining it run 100)
i got cl long 8218 imagining 85 i see at 8320, green green , i forget to separate my trading resuslts, made a scrambler, later i see go dwon all the way down and finishe red, made some shorts in nq, why???
116 range, but what about the massive gap up?
and finish red red...
and feed bad ...again mixiing the result with me...
also the combi ,i was doing and the sam,e time was severely affected for my lack of attention

and what thin is the line between +2000 and -1200

in the combi i am waiting to exit this morning my long +12@3934, it sound me very strange,

Happens to the best of us. Did you make errors? If not, just brush it off. If you try to always be "right" you will lose your shirt.

i think mistakes were
cl long, exit soon
re entry soon
not exit when made lh
not go short


nq
no go short
exit soon on my longs
re entry chasing at highs
no t reverse
add and when went wrong not exit ,then i was with too size

let become a winner in a loser
not watch the whole risk
maybe some revenge for yesterday
not booking +850

i am affected for the blown up
yesterday i let a trade open ,when i went out
not took profit and i suffererd wild swings Over Night

today if i did nothing, only hold the position up to close could be+450p
instead, i exit soon, i went both sides, i start with big size to recover
overtrade, over lots, i am up, but ridiculous amount

trend or range?
this is a big issue
and i get trapped in the change of that

@alejo I want you to re-read your journals from start and realize how far you've come till now. Even though you've blown up you on the verge of progressing from step 34 in the 38 steps of trading ( )

Agreed. @alejo you really have come a long way. I noticed about a month or two ago there was a real shift in what you were focusing on and you are certainly progressing very nicely.

Keep it up, you're getting there!

Add me to the people who think that. Good job.
