Frustration

Have been extremely busy at work since my last post, and wouldn't you know it, that's when the market decides to move. Missed out on a swag load of opportunities. Call it laziness, call it busy from getting home at God awful hours in the night. Either way I could not capitalize. Instead I chose to make an undisciplined and unplanned trade. Result: 60 pip loss within secs. Awesome way to start the weekend...

Taking a look at my trades in the past year and consistency continues to elude me. Does not look like an issue with the technique, but more with the start stop approach which has plagued my relatively short trading career. That is, narrow periods of concentration across days and weeks where I do well with focus, offset by weeks to months of inactivity and forgetting all the fundamentals. Need a better way to beat myself into shape.

Enough whining, onwards to this week's analysis...
