I keep a bunch of sayings/quotes that I read afterwards to help me zoom out… “To lose is to be a human in this world” “The goal is progress, not perfection” “Remember, this loss says nothing about you as a person unless YOU make it so” “Don’t let yourself be defined by your mistakes…” “Your current mess can eventually become your message…will you keep going?” Pray those can be helpful reminders…any others anyone want to share?

@Tim Morton I’m confused on why you say I should have deleted the bottom one…price didn’t rip through it in the picture. They’re both Superman zones going short in a supply block…upper zone is top of the move, lower zone is after the pullback.

Ah, I get you now! I was looking more at the 1m chart that I should have noticed that the bottom zone should have been deleted - you’re right. Great catch :)

Sean, you've got a lot of people helping you here. I appreciate your courage to be vulnerable with that powerless feeling when you're struggling to understand something. We've all been there, and I know that's why many are reaching out to you. Aside from any trading expertise, consider reframing your frustration - because your mindsets will wreck any progress/profits you make in trading, regardless of whether you understand the strategy or not. Watch Kyle's classroom on controlling emotions, read books on trading psychology, and learn to be patient with yourself and your results. Your ability to handle emotions is 80-90% of the battle for you to succeed here. You aren't stupid (don't self-flagellate, that's keeps you from moving forward), honest questions are never dumb (so don't be afraid to ask them), and most of all, if you're overwhelmed - GOOD, GET READY TO LEARN. That means the ceiling of your knowledge is about to expand, that means you're identifying problems, and that means you can be part of the solution. Watch Jocko Willink's "Good" on Youtube to see what I mean. I watched that every day for months.

@Kyle Henris AMEN. The illusion of urgency is powerful and keeps us from focusing on doing the things that build true progress, confidence, and wealth.

@Mark Clarno I think we have the same thing in terms of supply zone (your purple zone is my red zone) and I think what I'm learning from all of this is that if a supply/demand zone is being created as a pullback within a larger move (i.e. there's another zone above/below it at the top/bottom of the move), it's important to see that and consider the possibility that it may be a weaker zone. Does that make sense?

@Mark Clarno yes, I did, went long - but only on sim to see. Once it retraced down and came back up, I see a channel that seems to be holding (just another data point of my own that isn't necessary within this strategy). I am looking at "pullback S/D zones" with a pink and neon green (to indicate possible weak strength). Hey, I may be wrong - but learning and iterating is the fun part for me!

Nice work!
