The last week and a half have been the most stressful weeks trading wise just watching, and waiting for this trade. I know it has been said, trade it like a short term. I just cant. Cant pull triggers on my reversals which I do all the time scalping. That long distant feeling of being a "noob" resurface. Gotta pack that away forever and just do what I do best.
I closed out my usd/jpy at a loss and went back to scalping, swing trading today, with stacking. All the pressure is magically gone.
I dont need a 25000 pip trade on my resume.
Rant over....dont expect to see many, if any long term trades here again. I miss the income scalping provides and don't need the stress (trading drama)
in my life.
I even dug out my old template!.... Man this feels good. Never thought long term would be such a distraction!

So nice to see others who are taking the same psychological journey I did. I used to make my living on ultra-long exposure to the market and think nothing of it - then I took some time away to do other ''stuff'' and when I came back, I just couldn't hack it. Drove me mental. It wasn't a technical collapse - it all still worked, it was purely in-the-head. Scalping saved my sanity and my bank account didn't notice the difference.
Welcome back to the Wild Side
