Posted at 04:56h, 24 OctoberThanks FT71 for all you do.
It is beginning to click that the market truly is an auction that is just trying to involve the most participants. I had been taught by several "master daytraders" that it is an arena that manipulated by machines that can move it as far as they want in an direction at any time for the purpose of causing the most pain possible. This conceptual view fed my inner monkey with steroids. This made it extremely difficult to hold to a decent target, etc.
"Making the turn" seemed impossible and I can see how highly improbable it was.
Ironically, understanding that the market is random helps quiet my inner monkey and allows me to focus on trade management more clearly.
Thanks again for the generous education you provide.
