The story of Yirbu

[Yirbu]

This morning I started trading and immediately got confused.
Annoying because I had the same yesterday and this resulted in a loss for the day.
Today I had two conflicting setups and wasn't able to choose.
Normally I just make a decision or do nothing but today somehow it was hard so I went long...closed my long with a loss, went short...closed my short with a loss and went long again. Not a good start.

When I did make up my mind I took 12 pips trading the inside bar which was the original plan.
Too bad I already wasted some pips acting confused.

Conflicting info is good. It means your brain is working vigilantly looking from every possible angle. There are cases when I get into a hedge too. Sometimes hedging with profit sometimes hedging with loss. You just have to decide whether to hedge or not. Observe and then study in what kind of situation you'll likely end up in a hedge or when to just stay out. But also be flexible. Some people just decide to stay out when they have conflicting situations. This must be part of your WIL.

I have been experimenting with hedging. I am not at the point yet that I can describe when it works or when it doesn't or when to exit my hedge but that's just a matter of time. For now I only hedge when I am in profit and am not sure if price is reversing or just having a pullback. And indeed, sometimes I just step aside and do nothing.

Have a nice weekend all. I'll be on the road for the most part of the day and later I hope our national soccer team will defeat Argentina.
Hey...a small chance is also a chance not so?

Quickies before we get in the car.
Oh, oh. Am I addicted now?
Am I going to the dark side?

I remember the days when I watched football with my uncles and the boys rooting for Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard. Those were definitely the awesome days of the Netherlands
Actually, now that Japan went home, I'm rooting for the Netherlands.

Trying something different.
First one was a triple bottom from demand.
Second one was a H&S back into demand.
Third one was a flip, using that trendline liquidity to take out that high.

Ahhh those were the times. We still long for a team like that but it actually always ends like yesterday. But yesterday with two fights on the field was a bit more drama as usual

Yeah, it's a pity. Was hoping for the Netherlands to go into the semis.

Difficult day today. Tried to reverse in the Frankfurt session back into Asia but pa kept coming back at me.
Took some hits before price reached the bottom of Asia.
First trade failed to go higher but the 2nd printed a double bottom and I was able to hop on.
Decided to exit the trade because I had to leave and I could see I could escape at be.
I hate it when I put so much work into something and it leaves me with nothing.

Well....tomorrow is another day and maybe I can ride that 120+ pips candle all the way down again.
