The patterns of the markets may be fuzzier - more nuanced and complex - than the language traders use to describe them.

This would make describing trading very difficult.

Break was good...

Risk

Most traders have absolutely

no concept of what it means to be a risk-taker in the way a successful

trader thinks about risk. The best traders not only take the risk, they

have also learned to accept and embrace that risk. There is a huge

psychological gap between assuming you are a risk-taker because you

put on trades and fully accepting the risks inherent in each trade.

When you fully accept the risks, it will have profound implications on

your bottom-line performance.

Turning points

RISK

Trading is inherently risky. To my knowledge, no trade has a guaranteed outcome; therefore, the possibility of being wrong and losing money is always present. So when you put on a trade, can you consider yourself a risk-taker?

Financial and emotional disaster are common among traders
because many of the perspectives, attitudes, and principles that
would otherwise make perfect sense and work quite well in our daily
lives have the opposite effect in the trading environment. They just
don't work. Not knowing this, most traders start their careers with a
fundamental lack of understanding of what it means to be a trader,
the skills that are involved, and the depth to which those skills need to be developed.

Most of the trades posted here come from 133 tick chart. Here, couple of the trades from 266 tick chart, which pays off as well...

Such a great example of one minute chart channel line working as a good target point, also for counter trend trades entries

Attitude in trading

Everyone who trades ends up learning something about the markets; very few people who trade ever learn the attitudes that are absolutely essential to becoming a consistent winner. Just as people can learn to perfect the proper technique for swinging a golf club or tennis racket, their consistency, or lack of it, will without a doubt come from their attitude.

Consistent winners

The defining characteristic that separates the consistent winners
from everyone else is this: The winners have attained a mind-set - a
unique set of attitudes - that allows them to remain disciplined,focused, and, above all, confident in spite of the adverse conditions.

HTLB and ZLR/MR trades from last week's replay

The trade either works or it doesn't

While this may sound complicated, it all boils down to learning
to believe that: (1) you don't need to know what's going to happen
next to make money; (2) anything can happen; and (3) every moment is unique, meaning every edge and outcome is truly a unique experience (HTLB's, ZLR's, MR's...........etc,etc.........)
