C of 3 of 5 down but I never quite got the hang of it
Do you use EW as part of your analysis?

Higherorlower - You are not alone. What you are going through is very normal for traders, especially if you have a limited supply of funds. I have no problems making trades on the sim, but when I go live I tend to have inertia. If you have confidence in your ability to read the market structure correctly and not enter trades on a whim, then over time you will become successful. The markets recently have been quite difficult to trade, so don't beat yourself up too badly.
A bit like this praps...arf arf.

I should've, I should've, I should've.
Now I am seeing that I could have made some money shorting at , or just after, the open.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Been there myself the way I got round it was to book a holiday, this was just so there were other distractions then limit the time in the markets so only trade for 2 hours in the morning afternoon or evening and also to go to the smallest size you can $5 Emini or similar after 4 weeks of this, only 2 on holiday, I was able to wait for a price or setup take it and not worry about missing a move I also took a more relaxed attitude to the trade giving it room to breathe rather than close hard stops.
Happy as a pig in the preverbial today spanking the market and my lad passed his GCSE maths It don't get better:clap:
