Just a question answer session with myself about my crude trade today now that i can think more clearly after downing a couple of pegs.
Why did you take the trade ?
Because the system threw it at me
Were you not apprehensive that you could end up with a losing trade ?
I was fully aware of my risks before going in for the trade and the SL was well within my money management rules. I went into the trade with the understanding that my stop will be hit. I surrendered to my system.
Are you Nostradamus and you knew that you would earn so much from it ?
No i just went into the trade on getting the signal and stayed with the flow.
Why did you take so many adds ?
Because the system kept on providing me with opportunities while mitigating my risks.
Why did you not exit anywhere in the middle ?
The system did not stop me out at any time so i could be with my trades for the longer time. Today i thought of having full faith in my system (as the ribbon system is somewhat new for me.) I realised between the two of us (me and the system) only it knew of the mood of the markets. Hence total surrender.
Are you satisfied with your trade(s) today ?
More than satisfied, not only because of the profits (which are always welcome) but because it let me stay in the trade for a longer duration of time.
Would you take such trades in the future ?
Always.
