Missed ES Setup
It's a bad day. It's bad coz I've finally come to realize that trading is NOT on the top of my priority list. D remains the most important thing in my life, frustratingly so.
It's a bad day. It's bad coz I've finally come to realize that trading is NOT on the top of my priority list. D remains the most important thing in my life, frustratingly so.I took my last trade without a proper signal and ended up scratching at a 2-tick gain, all because D came home with a headache AGAIN (I wish he would quit his job). His right-hand man drove him right up the wall today.
Anyway, I promised him a massage and he was waiting. I was waiting for my signal for my desired trade but i couldn't stand letting him wait. So I went in knowing that I was chasing price. It was Deja vu that saved me. Been through this too many times, and definitely not making the same mistake again.
Gave up my favorite ES setup too (3rd screenshot above). I was just too frustrated to trade.
Told D about my "problem" - that he's become a MAJOR distraction and obstacle to my trading. Market's not there to wait on me. I'm the one that's doing the waiting, and I deserve the peace-of-mind to trade my setups when they appear. Trading's my bloody job!
I suggested a solution. I asked D if I can ignore him, and put work before him. He agreed.
I'm happy for now.
At least I asked. I'm better than him. And I feel GOOD!!!
Sweet revenge. Took me 15 years!!!
