Dear TT sir,
You might have the feeling to quit or take a break but that doesn't solve your personal as well as mental problems you faced because of the loss. Similar experience I too had few years back when i was trading for my friend (when i lost all my money and found that I got a best working system). The lesson I learned is simple but it took years for me to understand and accept. Thousands of strategies i tried , tried, tried and went tired!!!! finally came to the conclusion nothing is perfect in the planet and so as trading systems. Unlike other traders I will not ask you to quit or take break instead build confidence. You are one of the strongest contributor in TJ with regards to trading physcology as far as I know. You have been one of the best person in predicting crude moves with relatively fundamental combinations but still you failed because no human being has the ability to accept RT losses and every trader will get MAD when a 10k profit trade turns to be a 10k loss trade. I bet you there is no real trader in the planet without emotions but there are traders whom know how to control their emotions by certain limit. This the place where MM,TP,SL comes into fact. My suggestion to you is to drop the plan of signal to signal trading system which never and ever will work unless there is a huge oneway rally which happened last year in crude but will that move be all the time NOOOOO...
A small review of your last two trades you post in this site:
First:
you bought the crude near 6106's: There is no logic behind this trade as it is very near to 23% retracement which is broken below and trying to take it up.... Buying must happen only after 6130's strong volume cross.
Second: Short near 6075's
you entered it right knowing the mistake of long and corrected with accurate SL of 6130's but the mistake you are doing here is keeping the target open???
What it mean's I dont really understand the word "Target is Open" not to hurt you on this question but I have seen this quote at many places... simple anser to question is why the hell you trade when you dont know the target but SL??? Rethink and think again and if you got my point clear on this logic you will become the powerful trader....
I hope my words dont hurt you incase if it does I am really sorry.
I wish you all the very best to you to become one of the strongest and smartest trader in the planet.....
