After my 'ironic' post yesterday about a perfect pin bar on AUDCAD, after we'd all been stopped out, I went to the cinema (watched Colette) with family. Kick off was at 4:00pm and you have to respect theatre etiquette.
Missed the debate here and didn't get back to my screen until 7:00pm. I know the wise one has good rules on time, but I couldn't help myself. (Always did my best work in the evening).
AUDCAD has happened and I also spot AUDJPY. I smartly set a couple of BUY Limit orders. If it happens, it happens. But of course, I can't help but look later.
Why did I do that?
And of course, the rest is history. I'm long both trades, currently in a negative position. Could be sitting in a positive light this morning, but the fear of missing out and greed, kicked in.
If these trades end up winning, great, I'm on the right side. But how much sweeter to have got in at the right price on both trades.
I am sure we all have similar stories to tell Rabbit - trading emotion has injured us all.
The most important question to ask yourself now is, 'how can you prevent this from happening again?'
I don't feel that you've done anything too "wrong" though. I am also long AUDCAD and there was a buy signal on AUDJPY.
