I think the success went to my head. Had 16 days up and then I thought
I was superman and went two days down. I went back to figure out what
happen and I figured out I was not following my strategy and also blindly
holding on to losses. :(

Correction plan for next week: Follow plan or DIE! :lol:

In my opinion, a gain is having the funds to trade more and a loss is lacking the funds to maintain your position size.

"...a loss is lacking the funds to maintain your position size."

Have to have a fairly large loss if your broker gives 100:1 leverage to
not maintain position size.

Alias, what part of your plan did you stop following?

:lol: just about all of it! Reverted back to old habits of placing order into
extremes and not waiting for corrections.

:) Its funny how we all go thru the same things....I recently wrote down my trading plan ( for the 3rd or 4th time) and each time I do it I get more detail and leave less to chance and it all gets a little better and then I enter early or forget to check where the hourly candle is or some other stupid mistake...it's so easy to deviate from the plan and I regret it each time. I think I may put at the top of my plan: Follow the plan or DIE........lol

Usually. Either with the H1 or fairly close to where it will turn.
