Thesis: Demand bounce (formed pre-market)
Where/why did I ENTER (Confirmations): Sellers were so strong, yet they stopped having that strenght when touched 4356 demand; broke the downtrend line; finding acceptance above 4358 (previous LOD)
Trade plan: "Demand formed at 4356 on the 30m TF, near 4354 a previous resistance level, will be looking to see how participants react to this, if they are aggressive, I am open to be long targeting the HOD 4370"
How was I feeling DURING the trade (emotions): Felt confident, however thought that my stop was in a very obvious place.
Trade management: Not much, I got bottom ticked.
Where/why did I EXIT: My stop got hit.
Mistakes: Hard to tell, even going back I am not sure what would I have done different.
What can I do to improve: Be more selective on Friday's that follow big movers on Thursday and only get in once a direction is established or, short the highs and buy the lows.
Overall thoughts: See what the problem is? This trade in itself was a good trade that didn't work out… that's all but if yesterday's trade ,which is completely independet from today's trade, got to my TP, I would have banked 100$, so a 15$ loss doesn't even make a difference! But on a 40$ trade, I only have 1/2 more trade before erasing that win... The goal is to build a comfort zone with your winners, in order to handle drawdowns...
