You may be doing nothing wrong.
Sometimes the market just does "weird things"…illogical things.
You know how that works from your regular life experience. Sometimes people and things just don’t behave in a logical fashion. And, we have a tendency to make things even more challenging by trying to "predict the logical path". Don’t do it.
What we look for are HIGH PROBABILITY trade setups…the ones that the Logical Forex Scalping and Forex Trading System provides along with the Logical Forex Indicators. We don’t predict. We just see a setup…execute the trade…and exit the trade…take the outcome…and move on to the next trade…all without hesitation…or contemplation…or overanalysis…just "trading in the now".
As you get more experience, meaning your eyes and your brain and your "trigger finger" become more "connected", you will improve. And, when it does all get connected, it’s a definite "Aha!" experience that you’ll recognize. Most people, after they’ve had this "Aha!" experience trade very well..for a while…and then…for some reason…"lose it". That can be a very difficult time…but it WILL pass. Just keep at it…with great conviction and determination…and your eyes and your brain and your "trigger finger" WILL play well together…and improve…and then you can refine things and become even better.
Something that can give you a very fast understanding of High Probability Setups is reviewing the trade examples posted on the forex trading blog. For even more clarity, find the examples on your own charts, and then press the Right Arrow Key in NinjaTrader to see how the setup looks and how the trade develops. The time posted on the charts is US/Central. Be sure you convert to your own time zone.
Maybe the most important thing is…more practice. Use the NinjaTrader Market Replaytool to watch the market you have recorded. Do this "faster" than normal time, such as 6 to 10 times normal speed.
Also, you will be completely amazed at how much your trading can improve when you absorb the Logical Forex Premium Videos. Seasoned professionals are surprised by much this boosts their trading results. We will work closely with you to fully understand your personality, your goals, your trading style and preferences, and much more, to tailor Logical Forex to work "just for you".
Look at trade setups as "signals to consider doing something" and not "do it now!". Don’t hesitate, but don’t "jump the gun" either. You’ll become much better at this with experience in a live market trading real money, but when the market is acting silly and is difficult to trade, or during your non-trading times, use the Market Replay tool and let it just sink into your brain. Don’t try to actually trade while using the Market Replay tool…just observe…and maybe say to yourself "enter" and "exit"…and drive what you are seeing into your brain.
You can also improve by trading a demo account. We encourage you to treat your demo account like it is "real money". That way, when you make the move to trading real money, the shock won’t be so great to your emotions. That shock is real. Count on it. But you can make that transition a little easier by trading your demo account as though it is real money. Now, some people like to do this a little differently. They prefer to "trade everything that looks like a setup" in their demo account, and then trade their live account more conservatively. That may work for you, too. Be careful though, because everything you do is training your brain, and you want that training to be the most consistent and profitable that you can do.
