ES1! I know someone else out there is facing the same battle right now, so if you need the reminder, here it is: on days like this, patience is the most valuable skill you can have. Sometimes the market inches along, sometimes it surges, and sometimes it does completely & absolutely nothing for what feels like forever.
Stick. To. Your. Plan.
If you truly trust your analysis, why take a trade you already know is reckless just to chase a few extra scraps? The real wins come from catching the big moves. Maybe there aren’t any today. Maybe not next week. Maybe not even for months. But eventually, the wave will come and if you’re right, timing won’t matter. The goal is to win, not to win today at any cost.
Most importantly, remember this: doing nothing for a few days is not losing. And no amount of frustration or force of will can bend the market to your direction. The moment desperation creeps in. The moment you act out of impatience, frustration or ego, that’s when real losses happen.
Stay disciplined. Stay steady. And good luck out there. ;)
ESZ2025 I put a limit order in from the trade I was in while it was stuck. It filled 5 pts ahead of it. That was a huge surprise . I’m still not seeing movement on the charts though. Does anyone know why?
