We start off today’s episode by talking about trading psychology. Most people will looks elsewhere for someone to blame versus looking at themselves and figuring out why they screwed up. We are ultimately in charge of our trading and choices.
After polling the room we decide an appropriate alert would include a cliff point and where it takes place (grandma number). So we set up our short trade plan based on the bearish trend and the current formation of candles. After showing the 5 minute time frame, we see that some of our levels are incorrect. We have to adjust our stop loss. After advancing the chart, we see that we feel some heat initially but adjusting our stop loss to accommodate the 5 minute chart has kept some people in the trade. The chart proceeds to decline for the next few candles before ultimately stopping everyone out. While this isn’t a home run trade, it still was a good trade after we took into account the 2 minute chart and the 5 minute chart to determine appropriate levels for our stop loss and profit target.
