In poker, if you don’t know who the mark is, then you’re the mark.
In trading, if you don’t know who is trapped, you will soon discover that it is you!
Discipline:there is never “just this time, maybe it will work.”
Objectivity: if you feel any emotion, don’t take the trade. Accept that the market might do the opposite of what you believe, and it will about 40% of the time.
Patience: it can take hours for a good signal. A trade is never overdue.
Until you are consistently profitable, work on increasing position size rather than the number of trades. Be very selective and take only the best 1 –3 trades per day.
One important note is that if there is a steep trend, never trade Countertrend,even if there is a High or Low 2 or 4, unless there was first a prior significant trendline break or trend channel overshoot and reversal.
Learn to anticipate trades so that you will be ready to place your orders. For example, if after a bear trendline break there is a two-legged break below a major swing low, or an overshoot of a trend channel line,look for a reversal, or if there is a ii break out, look for a reversal. Once you see an outside bar or a Barb Wire pattern, look for a small bar at the extreme for a possible fade trade. If there is a strong trend, be ready for the first EMA pullback and any two legged pullbacks to the EMA and for the first EMA Gap pullback.
There are only a few situations when you only need one reason to enter a trade. First, anytime there is a strong trend, you must enter on every pullback that does not follow a climax or failed flag breakout, even if the pullback is just a High or Low 1. Also, if there was a trend channel line overshoot and a good reversal bar, you can fade the move. The only other time that only one reason is needed to enter a trade, whether in a trading range or a trend, is when there is a second entry. By definition, there was a
first entry, so the second entry is the second reason.
Don’t lose sight of the goal!
When you are looking for a H2 (High 2), you are simply looking for a two-legged sideways to down correction.
