거래 망설임 때문에 기회를 놓치고 있어요 😞

Sounds like you followed your rules? If you didn't trade as it didn't hit your criteria you are doing it right.

Just because that 'trade' then won doesn't make it retrospectively valid. It's annoying but it happens. You need fixed rules and need to follow them, having rules that bend when it suits you will never work long term.

That’s not hesitation . . that’s your rule stopping you. You said you don’t like entries at highs . . so you passed. The frustration is just seeing it run after. You fix that by being clear on what you take and accepting you’ll miss moves that don’t fit... not by trying to take everything.

You are human and you have emotions. The fact that it was at an all time high made you doubt the setup, this falls into the fear category. You are most likely always looking for reasons to NOT enter a trade when you are trading, this is completely normal and a process pretty much every trader goes through before becoming consistently successful. The fact that you logged off and didnt chase the trade shows you have discipline which is massive. Stop looking at what you didnt do and look at what you did do, in future try looking for reasons to Enter and trade, and try not looking for reasons Not to enter. This helped me massively.

This is the third post I've read with the same problems. I made a post on Reddit about it, I can't re-share every time, read it on my account. Basically, my friend, you don't have an edge. You buy and sell randomly, it's not just you, it's everyone. That's the difference between those who make millions and those who don't. Basically, to put it very quickly, you don't have an edge, you buy randomly, sell randomly. You don't set stop losses, you don't set take profits, you probably don't have a trading journal. You buy shares that cost little. Try buying SNDK instead: scary, right? $1200. Well, it's the shares that cost a lot that have value. I'm not saying to buy SNDK now, it was just an example!!!!

How many times did you take a trade too early and it lost before you added that rule? It’s easy to focus on the “should have won” trades but your brain forgets the one where you would have lost.

I would suggest keeping your rule in place, but for these trades where it’s borderline on your rule then paper trade those only. That way you start to build up some actual statistics over time that can determine whether or not you change any rule in future.

I did the same yesterday, had a trade setup that triggered on my rules, however it was just 30mins after the UAE attack news so I did not trade it due to that macro uncertainty. I switched to paper trading and made the trade exactly as I would and journaled as usual including my reasons. That way as I review going forwards I can still analyze results of these and then use that information to decide whether or not to adjust my rules in future.
