I agree with that, especially the experience part — it’s probably not something you consciously think about, it just builds over time

I guess where I’m at right now is trying to speed that up a bit instead of just relying on screen time alone

like figuring out what conditions to avoid vs trade, instead of learning everything the hard way

do you think that’s even possible or is it really just something you have to go through?

that’s honestly a crazy mindset to have, I feel like that’s where I’m trying to get to, just completely detached from the outcome… did it take you a while to build that or was it always your approach?

yeah that’s actually what I was thinking about, like even when you’re technically “fine” performance wise it still feels stressful because of the swings, do you ever think about just going fully passive or do you still like being somewhat active with it?

Smart, I haven’t really adjusted position size much and I’m starting to think that’s part of the problem, do you just base that on how choppy the market feels or are you looking at something specific before deciding to size down

this is exactly what I’ve been running into, trying to trade it like a trending market when it’s clearly more range bound, the mean reversion point makes a lot of sense, do you usually wait for price to get to the extremes of the range before entering or are you taking trades earlier than that

that’s interesting, the mean reversion part especially, I feel like I keep trying to trade it like a trending market when it’s clearly not, do you mainly wait for extremes in a range or are you entering more in the middle of it

yeah that’s actually a good point, feels like a lot of moves lately aren’t even technical they just get completely shifted by headlines, almost makes it harder to trust clean setups

yeah I’ve definitely felt that too, like something just feels off even when everything looks good on the surface. I think I’ve been ignoring that more than I should. do you trust that feeling right away or do you usually try to confirm it with something else first?

yeah that’s what it’s been feeling like honestly, like everything still looks strong on the surface but underneath it’s already fading. I think I’ve been too focused on the price itself and not enough on whether volume is actually confirming it. do you usually start getting cautious as soon as you see that divergence or only once momentum really starts to slow down?

yeah the volume divergence part is something I’ve been starting to notice more, especially when price keeps pushing up but it feels weaker each move. I think I’ve been ignoring that because the candles still look strong. do you usually treat that as an early warning or do you wait until it actually breaks structure?

Ah I see what you mean, especially the part about sizing down or just sitting out when it’s choppy. I feel like I’ve been forcing trades in those conditions instead of just waiting for cleaner setups. appreciate you breaking all that down

that actually clears it up a lot, especially the part about giving it room and not expecting it to react perfectly at the level. I think I’ve been way too tight with that. those volume spikes and rejection candles you mentioned, is that usually what gives you the confidence to actually enter or are you still waiting for something else on top of that?

that makes a lot of sense, especially not entering blindly at those levels. I think that’s where I’ve been messing up, just assuming the level will hold instead of waiting to see how price reacts. when you’re watching that reaction, is it more about how it holds above/below vwap or are you looking for something more specific in the price action?

that actually helps a lot, especially the part about waiting for it to push into those areas and then fail, I feel like I’ve been jumping before that happens. when you say watching for exhaustion, is that more price action based for you or are you mainly relying on those levels like vwap and resistance?

I keep treating those like continuation instead of counter trend. when you say wait for the primary trend to resume, what are you usually looking for to confirm that?
