R-0.6: 2 Losses

EU trades: Shorts at supply in downtrend, issue =  old level meant sell orders all filled.

EU trade missed: should have pre-empted old supply level failing and got in on a demand level on a smaller timeframe.

into: Poor entries, good money management.

thoughts: Recognized that the level of supply I was trading was old but doggedly took trades almost solely to practice managing risk. While missing the best trade that I had recently read about in a Seiden article.

summary: Writing a bit about this in an unpublished post on risk. Crap entry, ultimately there's more than one way to manage risk.

lessons: 1. when at (many) tested level of demand or supply , you should look to fade it on a smaller timeframe. 2. trading is about managing risk so trades should be measured by the following parameters: 1. ensuring that you are only risking x% of account (did). 2.  reducing risk (trail and time stops) in trade (did). 3.  choosing low risk, high reward entries (didn't).
