I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it seems every time I set my curve, identify my trend or change in trend and add my entries, stops and targets the trend seems to immediately do a 180...
I've tried identifying 'W's 'M's double tops double bottoms in addition to flags, triangles, etc.
Anyone have any suggestions what I can refer to help with this?

Hi RBC - In my opinion Indicators are part of a learning curve for traders. Indicators may show different visions on different Time frames. I use them as a general guidance - When a trade decides to go the opposite way - you need to have a secondary strategy - Hedging is part of the tools i use (this depends on what jurisdiction/country your trading from)

I do like humor of other posters but I also like my own entirely and I do understand that everything should go time in time with that matter absolutely. So let's move out with ease on all that topics. How else we could do it? Describe it with some screens.

Yeah, unfortunately, that happens sometimes, too. You seem to be doing everything right, but still something goes wrong and you lose a seemingly successful deal. You have to be prepared for that at all times. Yeah, it's unpleasant enough and even a little depressing, but it's trading. You have to always be alert and literally ahead of events. It sounds a little pompous, but you can handle it. Think of it as part of your learning. Mistakes are lessons too, you can learn from them.

RachelBC posted:Just learn how to identify trends using Weekly, Daily, 4Hours,1Hour and 15 Minutes Candles, then you will not be wrong on trend. Also get pivot point plotters to use I dentify Resistance, Pivots and Support Lines, then you are good.

Look at the trades that worked and compare them with the ones that did a 180. If you find a difference then add that difference to your trading strategy so that you get more winners

I don't know exactly what the problem with your trading is, but I think you could use a little improvement in your strategy. Usually this shouldn't happen, which means that you miscalculated somewhere in your strategy. Try to recreate it on your demo account and analyze all the mistakes in more detail. Maybe something will work out of it, it is worth trying.

What is 'Every time'? Is that across a month, a week, or a day? Everyone loses trades. The average result for 1906 different hedgefunds is a loss to date of over 4%.... So don't feel too beat up. The market is against you, you just have more learning to do.

In my opinion, you should evaluate your strategy properly and see where the problem is. Once you identify the problem, improve it and test it. Analyzing everything from scratch will help you to find a solution. Try and understand trading strategies in more detail.
