See.... trading with preconceived ideas of direction is "trying to be right".
Just not worth it.
Price action and Confluence rules ...and not just any confluence. (I said it myself in the posts. It could go any way.) You have to zoom out and look at the complete picture. ...And, wait if it has more hurdles to a clearer run.
There was mixed information everywhere and I took a trade (even if was small) just to have something on in the market. ...and to do that, I used my thoughts on where things "should" go. "Should" is a no-no word when trading. All that matters is the probability. The best probability trades are the A++ trades.
I know there are a lot of people out there thinking that Price action is the Holy Grail. It's not. It a tool that has to be coupled with patience and self protection. ...You wait for the trades that give you the best chance of success, and you enter them with a position size that takes into account that NOTHING IS EVER a sure thing, even the best setup ever!
Sorry for rambling, ....but I know someone will read that and start to 'click' . I have, and about 95% of the time now I stick to it. It's made a massive difference.
