Hi Sympathy,

Quick question,what makes you hold this trade.? we can clearly see there's a W formed there..I was in with sell as well near the top as price look 'choppy'...But exited when I see the first leg of W forming...Then I wait for 2nd leg then reversed my position and then :arrrg: :arrrg: :arrrg:
From what position in the cycle are you supposed to trade the "M" and "W" patterns...

whenever we are in level3 always expect a run from fox. i was expecting that fast moves that was why i didn't exit, you have to learn how to hold on price whenever fox shakes us out.

"W" and "M"'s are best traded from the peak low and the peak high...

We've all been there, including me, many times over. It's how we learn to not make the same mistakes in the future. Too many people fail to post their losing trades and we never get to discuss them. I wish Sponn had posted the trades that blew his account but unfortunately, he didn't so there is no way to fix that.

I have a great deal of trading experience and you know how you get that? By screwing up. You get experience from learning from your mistakes and repeating them less frequently. I say less frequently because we are all human and we will make mistakes in the future. The added experience comes when you see the same setup again and your reaction to it.

When I make I mistake, I generally throw the trade away as soon as I see my mistake. I never marry my trades and I learn to make my bad trades more profitable to me by doing this. This is some of the experience I gained from screwing up.

When I started to learn this I blew few accounts too(who didn't?). I think that most popular reason of failing is that people are focused on looking for W's/M's, ABC's or another reversal pattern, and forgots about pushes and levels. I think this is the main reason why I failed at the beginning. Second reason was wishing for price to reverse when I saw mistake instead of close bad trade(so stupid!). I had few weeks of a break and I'm back with micro account right now. Still learning :smile:

Sorry for grammar mistakes.

A/U H1 looks good. Anyone with me? :)
