@tytradingcoach: At 31 I knew every entry trigger in the book. I could spot all of them. I still lost money. At 35 something clicked. The entries weren't the problem. They were never the problem. 5 things changed it. 1. I stopped looking for entries and started looking for setups inside a direction. At 31 I'd see a good-looking signal and take it. At 35 I learned the same signal in an uptrend is a buy, and in a downtrend is a trap. The entry was the last 5% of the decision, not the first. 2. I started waiting for the pullback. At 31 I bought breakouts. The candle that broke a level was the candle I clicked on. At 35 I started waiting for price to come back to the level. Same direction, half the risk, way fewer fakeouts. 3. I built a checklist and refused entries that didn't pass it. Three questions, every time. Is the higher timeframe pointing the right way. Did price react at the level. Has the other side left the market. If all three are yes, I take it. If not, I don't. 4. I sized the same way every time. At 31 I sized based on how confident I felt. Confident entries got bigger, unsure entries got smaller, which is the opposite of good risk management. At 35 I locked in one size and the confidence stopped affecting the trade. 5. I stopped chasing the perfect fill. At 31 I'd miss trades waiting for the best price. At 35 I learned a slightly worse entry in the right direction makes money. A perfect entry in the wrong direction loses. The entries weren't the problem at 31. The frame I was using to take them was. Once that changed, the same entries started working.
