I thoroughly enjoyed trading 1m chart for price trend today. It feels like we are made for each other
.. In my trading career many times I had rejected the options of trading 1m chart thinking it gives many false signals, its way too fast, you need to be like a robot etc etc with out even trying it once. And many times I had struggled on trading 5m chart intraday with issue like "Missing out signals, distractions, lack of focus, over guessing, over management etc etc"
Today it seems like I found answers to all. The answer lies in my personality and choosing a trading strategy that suits your personality trait. Personality wise I am impulsive in nature and high in energy. I cant sit idle for long time with out doing anything.. So when I tend to wait on 5m chart for the candle to close or a setup to develop it generally takes 30/60m, and thats enough for me to loose my focus, attention and eventually the right mindset to trade. But the fast paced action that the 1m chart provided me today is completely what I needed all this time. I did not even know how the 2 sessions ended, and in between I never thought anything about trading. I had my lunch, finished the daily chore for Rocky. With this speed, there was no time for re-guessing/over analyzing a setup. "Just what the system rule says and take steps according to that" was the mantra.
So surprisingly I loved today's trading. I am very much interested to see how the journey is going to unfold with this 1m chart from now. Off course it was tiring today mentally, but hopefully with time my patience will increase as well.
I also need to start working on the positional trading.
