Mentoring Lesson Continued: The Outcome
Well traders,
Wanted to share the completion of the experience that began yesterday morning. Closed the trade earlier today with a profit. I held the trade for two reasons:
1. I saw bullish sentiment on H4 when I placed the trade. I also went back and read what I had written in the post that morning...
Hello again,
Had a long day yesterday...now coming to
Here is an interesting setup. Price at WL with U-MLH below. News out shortly. Good place for support: either at WL or U-MLH (as switchback). Thinking bullish. By the way, these WLs are from a fork above.
Be careful,

Believe it or not, I stuck with it because of what I saw in the chart. Price came exactly to green U-MLH, found support and turned. I was hoping price would find support at the WL earlier, but the market sentiment was down and news pushed it further. Also I had not drawn in the red fork.
2. I have been told that it is good training to allow yourself to hold the trade to experience the swings from a negative P/L to a positive one. Builds emotional muscle. So, I figured I'll give it a shot since I'm in it already, nothing more to lose. If it's a loss, then it's a loss. Normally I would be gone, but I decided to put myself to the test. I guess I wanted the experience more than the cash .
Because I stuck with my analysis that was confirmed, I was able to come out with some pips in my pocket. The Lesson: Be confident about what you know about the method you are using. If you have reason to enter the trade, then hold on until you see reason to let it go.
Hope this helps someone. Your thoughts would also be welcomed.
Take care,

P.S. I guess now the skeleton's shadow is thrown out
