The price on this topped with two red bars on same level, then started to drop. I was distracted and super-confident, so i didn't close, even when price gave a second chance to do this. The important loss was the natural consequence.

Interesting....how did you felt after those 2 loss? one big and one small. This is when I loose my mind and start doing all kind of stupid trades...fear start and I loose control. So it's interesting to know your MindSet, how did you felt? what were you saying to yourself? and what gave you the courage to kee trading?
very simple, i stopped after these two. If you try to get back the lost immediately, you are lost! lol . I also needed time to think - how i turned a winning (i was at +3% before these) day to a losing one. This kind of stupidity gives me strength to be more disciplined tomorrow.. On the begining i used to commit such crimes every other day, now it's once or twice a month.
Although no one likes losing or making mistakes, but we need to accept that it’s only through mistakes that we are able to achieve greater results for future, I have also made many mistakes, but I have not given up and hopefully I can only get better from here. I get plenty of support with OctaFX broker with their amazing conditions that includes low spreads, high leverage up to 1.500 plus there is also smooth trading platform like cTrader, it’s all really cool!
"When i trade at home, I often watch the sparrows in my garden. When I feed them bread, they take just a little piece at a time and fly away.They keep on flying back and forth, taking small bits of bread. You will never be able to shoot a sparrow, it is just too fast. That is the way I day trade". M. Weinstein.

There is nothing to sell on this blog. No signals, no "systems" for sale. Just my trading plan and the recording of my trades on eur/usd and the fx euro future recently. And the books, the music, the films I like.

I got a few pips and then I left monitors to take care of my daughters. When I came back, price was 70 pips down...
