G'day Robbbbbbb as always thanks for your charts this weekend. You've inspired many to contribute to the weekend charting thread and its become one of the must-read threads on the weekends.
I have one question I suspect many grapple with when they trade (I know I do - getting better but I still succumb at times despite the fact I know better), so I thought I'd ask you how you go with this problem, if you dont mind answering, because I figure if even you succumb, then maybe its something that you can never achieve 100% and I'm beating myself up over it.
The question is, when you plan a trade, do you always trade the plan? I know sometimes there are circumstances that might cause a change in plan, but the crux of my question is do you ever succumb to fiddling when you know better?
I have found myself increasingly putting trades in place with pre-determined entries, stops & limits & then turn away and dont look at them again, to find I do well when I do that. Whenever I look at the progress, I get the urge to change course mid-trade. 9 out of 10 times in retrospect I did worse than if I left the plan in place - yet I still do it. Does that happen to you?
