The enemy in trading

Chart below summarizes the enemy in trading. Had continue holding the trade instead of exiting/gaining a few handles scalping, could have been a goldmine trade holding overnight.

That's the main problem human facing the market, if you don't watch/study yourself, the way how your brain functions not in line with the behavior of the market, frustrations and failures is the end product.

Came that analytic scenario after the fact per the chart below, and looking at it, can conclude trading it's all about looking at the big picture, analyzing past events, and have some basic frameworks in strategic execution.

Easy to make conclusion after the fact, but having experienced, recording and recollections of market historic behaviors, it can have a good positive effect in trading endeavor.

Bad on my part, probably been watching the market intensely day in day out, did not step back and refreshes my brain functionality, not able to have a probabilistic approach - that's where the main enemy in trading.

Trade your own way!

If you don't do your own way of learning and understanding how the market works, it will be difficult to make a good trade outcome.

Takes a lot of hard work and years of trial and error putting trades, once you got used to losing and figure out why, then that's the time you will get/reaps the reward.

Below is a chart where I did a good trade outcome without relying on sophisticated indicators, just mere tape reading and eye-catching level price movement and patterns.

That's all you need (scalp/trade-in between whatever you called it, it's all trading - do your own trades that's the best way to describe I guess).
