General Trading Chat

I saw some Market Profile videos by Jim Dalton.In one of them he says that most common mistakes traders make are as under :

1) They try to fade a trending day. And

2) They expect large moves on sideways days.

On trending days opportunities are few but rewards are high, on sideways days opportunities are many but rewards are small.

So true.....

Vikas,

Did you even think about this aspect : That job data could have been good and we could have had a gap up open on Mon? Or the fact you were even aware that job data was due today?

Had you said that based on the charts, you saw resistance level was close, or RR for trade was poor can be valid arguments to not taking a trade, but as far as I see, the charts gave a clear signal for long. So missing out a trade on a valid chart setup is a problem if not supported by rationale in my view. And justifying it as 'intuition' seems questionable aspect for an experience trader....

Sharing my thoughts....
