Trade with the trend, not against it?

Trend goes up, pulls back and retraces to key level, reverses and continues going in the direction of the larger trend.

Buy when it reverses and goes back in the direction of the original trend. Simple continuation strategy.

For a bullish continuation I'd look for confirmation like...

Price above vwap and ema?

Ema crossover converges and almost crosses but instead diverges?

Reversal creates a higher low than last one?

Reversal happening at a key level (pivot, orb, vwap)?

Short period DMI > 25 or Stochastic crossover right after reversal?

A couple of options. Option 1 - Size down and widen stops. Option 2 - Put your entry where you originally would've put your stop

let it pull back first

You don’t have a plan. More time than not it will pull back and retest the breakout area. You can start your position there and then add when it breaks out. You need to have a plan and some days your plan doesn’t align with the market.

I bet 90% of the traders in here can guess which way the market is going to go. Managing your risk why most traders fail

Did you think there would be a chance that price would retrace from your entry area? If you did, then you sized too large in spite of knowing this. If you didn't, then it's an invalidated trade and stopped you out where it should. If you didn't think about it at all, then you're gambling.

Well stop doing that

Are you trading a plan or emotion? Did you assess the market the night before and write down entries, exits, longs, shorts, chop zones? I do this daily on NQ. You can see my posts in reddit's history.

Stop trading the initial 15 minutes of US open check and avoid news, get bigger drawdown accounts, set hard limits on your platform that liquidate you if broken use less leverage like 1 MNQ OR 1-2 MES

Sometimes when get into the profit zone, set a "stop loss" of your profits. I'm not alone in seeing a $100 winner drop into the negatives from greed. Your exit is significantly more important than your entry for protecting capital imo.

Know where you are price wise relative to the day, the week, the month. Buying at a good price and letting your trade mature is critical in many market conditions, it's not all quick roller coasters. Sometimes you miss an opportunity, but that's OK. Look at what was happening at that time and try to recognize a pattern of events that signaled that outcome, so the next time you see those events you can take advantage. Also, maybe your stop loss is too aggressive? Or are you just trading huge volatility assets?

Also mentally, get into the right headspace. Pre-set your conditions you want to be met. Be patient, be confident and execute when those conditions arise.

Long term profitable trading is super hard, don't let anyone fool you that it's easy. Good luck 👍🏻
