Today I missed my Trade Setup, people trying to have full blown conversations with me, but don’t want to talk about trading. Everything followed my rules perfectly. I’m like, yeah, I’m going for it. I’m only blaming myself for lacking focus. I actually saved the Trade by managing to enter on the exact same level (that I missed initially), but while still being bombarded with conversation triggers, I still accidentally entered the wrong lot size. The EU Trade today, I entered it masterfully at “1.05370”, but due to this big distraction, I ended up entering the wrong lot size (0.01). First trade of the week. Literally went straight UP. 700 points the last time I checked. I would have literally caught a 1:20. My rules cap me at a 1:6 though. I’m not mad, but I am somewhat pissed. Disappointed, nobody around my side to even explain to what happened. Just in one ear and out the other. My psychology is torn because I got it right, but I did not benefit. I can rest in knowing my win rate is getting good. I guess I’ll just say “happens every day B”. There’s always tomorrow. Just going to focus on my own journey; I’m the one that has to DEAL WITH IT.
P.S. It also helps knowing I may do this 1000 more times.
Happened to me before. After that, I decided that it’s best to be alone when I’m trading. Especially if you’re trading on the 1m or 5m timeframe. Sucks, but you’ll get over it soon.
I was literally realizing what I had done and I just angrily closed the trade. Even though I could have still made a couple of dollars! SMH. I was just done after that.

I hope this is a joke. It’s a small account I’m growing. It was supposed to be 0.11. I’m using Live but I’m still in Demo mode. I’m going to grow it with deposits and good trades.
