they are tempting.

will take me back to a losing trader that was.
Define Your Trading Strategy Step by Step.
1. I look for an area where the market disrespects the resistance trendline when
breaks that’s my strong to place trade.
2. After it broke the trendline I wait and see if it retests if it that is my win trade.
3. Since the market can do anything for me to see if the market is going to break, I
CHECK THE FOLLOWING THE CONFIRMATIONS.
4. (1) The double top before the breakout, it’s a confirmation that the market has
lost the momentum of pushing more higher in an uptrend vise-versa in a
downtrend.
5. (2) the second one is to look for the trend change pattern.
6. (3) In an uptrend I look for a Lower high or a Lower Low before the trendline
breaks.
7. (4) Same as the uptrend, in a downtrend I look for a Higher high or a higher low
before the market breaks.
Trade Management.

Aftermarket Routine.
Every trader makes mistakes. The question is whether you will learn from those
mistakes or just keep paying repeatedly to experience them.
Keeping a trade journal throughout the day of all your trades as well as what you did
right and wrong on every trade is essential to growing as a trader. Make sure to take
screenshots of every trade so you can go back and review your trades.
