After taking some losing trades it is hard to convince yourself that it is just part of the statistics. You win some, you lose some. Although there were other factors at play I have no one else to blame but myself. After having spent the week focusing on aligning with market narrative I finally took a trade after I felt confident enough that I was aligned. Even though…. Market alignment does not equal guaranteed profits. It just pushes me to be on the right side of the market with a statistical edge to play out. The market does what the market does. Sometimes we are in sync with it. Sometimes we are not.
