Why I didn't take this trade ? No idea. Not very smart. :-& :smt017 :smt089

Nr. 1 was the first retrace to that supply zone (see 2nd picture below) I missed out on that one.

Nr. 2 was the 2nd one. I had noticed it, but decided to not invest 10 pips for a multiple of that because I thought it might go a bit higher through the the zone, which it didn't. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

Absolutely 8)

It's difficult when you can't follow up trades. In hindshight ( :roll: ) the 1.6545 area might have been better to take profit, but then again it might have worked on other days; the range today wasn't very high. It might work next time.. :D

I know. The brain protests sometimes. It's my enemy and I will have no option but to kill it out of pure self-defence :shock: :smt030 :smt076 :D

I saw a video of a professional trader trading years ago.

They entered the trade.

After the fill they entered the stop loss and TP1.

Then they sat back and watched.

There is nothing you can do but watch.

The TP1 was hit first.

The trader canceled his stop loss and entered a new stop loss at break even for the remaining position.

Purely mechanical.

They didn't live and die by each tick nor did they have to babysit the trade. When an order filled, the computer sounded an alert.

Funny you say that.

When I actually do that (to let it run), it works out fine and when I don't by starting to actually THINK, it doesn't.
That may be coincidence though.

If you take a step back, and you would actually enter every possible trade using some condition (e.g. RAT trigger, or a retrace to supply/demand, preferably at a higher TF extreme like day or week) and then do the above and let the remainder run until B/E or a T/P that makes sense, you should do fine, especially if the TP1 covers more than the S/L for the remainder.

Anyway, the psychology behind it is very important. The risk of being discretionary about your T/P (and that includes modifying an existing one) is that you tend to start and see things in a different perspective, thereby ruining the premise that led you to take the trade in the first place.

It all seems pretty simple. But why then do so few traders and investors enter properly into demand and supply areas? The answer is simple: human emotion. The fear of a potential break of a demand level is stronger than the benefit a low-risk entry at a demand or supply area offers. But traders need to remember that opportunity always lies where the majority is afraid to go.
