I think days like this are always tough for a counter-trend trader.......

Another horrible day for me.

I had 10 trades and no winners.

My head is about to explode after all these trades and I had to stop way earlier. I didn't have days like this for at least two weeks. I just cannot understand what's going on the market for last couple days. I missed couple opportunities I could make some profit and picked all loosing trades that I could find.

I think I should relax and wait for better setups because today it seems I got back to the bad habit taking trades on every pivot (only wrong pivots ).

Here is the video:

I don't think it is 'YOU' and this is the value of multiple people being HONEST and OPEN about the way they trade a certain system. I think the last two days were challenging for anyone trading this type of system. Could you have made money each day = of course, but these two days were a challenge in my opinion.

I didn't watch your video, but I could tell there was something wrong with today's action and luckily didn't get hit too badly.

Your last few trades were confusing to me. They didn't look good and not to be critical a bit confused why you were taking them?

A confusing and tough day and I think had you stood up and walked away for a bit that you would not have been going short there.

That's a good question!!

To be honest I don't know. My eyes were fogy, I didn't see anything and couldn't think straight.
I new that it's gonna be tough day again and all I wanted to make 1-1.5 points, then just BE, and then my brain got off and I just kept clicking. I know that it would be much better if I just left after 4 trades. I could even menage to BE even or be a couple ticks up but I didn't stop. When I took last couple trades I could already feel some pressure on the back of my eyes and my brain maybe worked at 5-10% if not less (just to keep me alive so I can keep clicking )

I just want to relax now and try to forget about today so it doesn't effect my trading tomorrow.(I feel like crap right now)

Yes, I suffer from the same. Except that I DO let it affect my next days trading and next weeks trading... haha...

I used to trade longer runs, but days like this have me 'on the lookout' which they shouldn't because these days aren't that common.

The retracements and movements were stressful to get in on! Not your fault, just shitty market condition, but the thing I wanted to point out was that you were doing the same thing I do. MUST GET BACK....

Oh well!!
Another day another loss.

My first trade seems like a mistake, got in too early on second one and it took me out by a tick. Then I didn't see short setup. Then I got chopped in sideways. It seem like I'm switching to zombie mode when I take trades to fast one after another one. I need a break in between to keep my mind clear.

Then I took another two trades but not a lot of profit out. Trade #7: could get in much earlier and pull out more profit but I wasn't sure about first signal.
I could get out at 62% on my last trade and be a couple ticks up, but I don't want to get out to early and I want to learn to let it hit profit target before stop loss.

I still think that today was better than yesterday for me!

So another negative day but the most important thing is to keep the head up and do not let it take me down!

We have to loose before we win!

You on vacation or what?

You on vacation or what?

No! I just took a break and trying some different indicators to help me with decisions. So far no luck.
I looked at today's market and I was really confused. It was jumping up and down.

That is the magical road to unprofitability.

1. Last week was a vacation week. Ignore it.

2. Besides that, you have been doing GREAT!!!!

My advice is to stick with what you are doing! Don't let a vacation week screw with you.
