Importance of not to forget the big picture


Recommended Posts

Dead obvious for you experienced folks on here but updating my trade notes from yesterday, I realised what a silly mistake I was make .

I was trying to test a trade off the open, I noticed from the screeners  on PRT that the  QQQ was down from previous day's close. I saw 3 big Red bars on 2 min time frame with large volume so I thought I'd test a quick SHORT trade. In and out in 5 minutes at £1 a point got me £25, cool. 

However looking at the bigger picture this morning, that is looking at the 2m, 15m and 1 hour chart  I realised it was a foolish trade to take for a few reasons

  • Spreads too wide for a short trade, 
  • I only was looking at the 2min time frame (right 1/3rd window of attachment) 
  • Most important, a very strong Bull trend has been going on 

I got luckily this  but it highlighted the need for 

  • reviewing trades and seeing what happens after trades close out 
  • Top down approach
  • when doing short trades like that , you don't have time to think so perhaps a checklist is in order

Anyway hope it helps other less experience people like myself 

PS: if I let that run all day following the MA and trailing stop it could've been a very profitable trade

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
