Can anyone tell me why this PB to where my crosshair is was a trade I shouldn't have taken?

Plan the Trade

Ok. So I took two bad trades. One I don't know why. And the other one I know what I did wrong. I waited for a pb to 99.50 but it was an uptrend. So practice. And just got a +1.

I was long waiting for the pb to 98.25 and checking this forum and didn't get filled I was going to cancel but got filled so I gut out at +5 because it wasn't the first pb on sim.

What on earth Is the trend now?

Plan the Trade

Anyway, I'm still trying to decide when to go counter trend with market profile, if ever? Because, contrary to what I thought before, there were some excellent pullback to level or SD area trades with the trend. It appears to me that whatever you do ...

So using the principles learned here had I had the courage to place an order at the bottom blue line I would have gotten a whole bunch in 6E (on SIM). I missed it waiting for the pullback, which doesn't happen so much on 6E like NQ. If you don't ...

If i could request you detail how to manage trades i.e when to get out early if ever and money management.

-15 but I know what I did wrong.

+5 . I should have held but I'm too scared, even though its on SIM. So I'm going to work on that even if I go in to slight DD.

slow day?

+1

Plan the Trade

I'm talking about at 9:37 or so?

Plan the Trade

Mr. Harold, at 9:38 there was a pullback to the 9:33 level. Why not take it?

And the same thing happened again... I have to fix the money management aspect of this.

Plan the Trade

Arrgh. I got in a trade and again had problems with moving my stop loss so it +1ed me and I would have staid in the trade and made back some...

Plan the Trade

Whipsawed -15

Plan the Trade

I got in at 7.25 but I didn't have my auto stops active so I closed manually for +3. But it might have been a small loss had I kept normal stops in place. This is on SIM.

Lol. Please don't hesitate to make videos. Seeing how you manage your trades is golden.
