30th August Trading Recap

The Daily and 1hr Charts show EURUSD in an uptrend, and we look to bouncing from
the trend support. Bias is on longs.

Rushed the EUR trade without properly looking at the 1hr Chart or zooming out on the 5m chart. FOMO
without proper preparation, and heavily distracted by the boys. As a result, I didn't see that a resistance
had been rejected twice and that we were quite close to it.

5m chart showed clear buying pressure at UK Open followed by a deep correction.
After the correction, price shot up strongly before starting another correction.
Upon reaching the previous Swing High, there was still clear buying pressure and a big bullish
bar formed which I used to get in.

Once I realised my FOMO, SL was immediately moved to break even and TP adjusted to 1:1 (which
coincided with the resistance area).

Frustrating, as I could have had a lot more here. Had I been focusing and concentrating,
considering the 1hr and 5m charts properly, I believe I could have had the meat of this move.

The move down from resistance was a textbook example of a correction and there was no clear
selling pressure. This movement would also have fallen into the "Consolidation Trap at Resistance" setup.

Letting my emotions get the better of me now. Frustrations of closing the previous trade go too early coupled with distractions from my 9-5
were precursors to this trade.

The rationale for the trade was that we have continued up and are bouncing from 5m Micro Levels.
We formed and broke a bullish bar at the most recent 5m Micro Level.

This trade failed very quickly. Considering commissions involved, small but real net loss for the
day.
