Trying to time things perfectly and nail an entry with very little breathing space is counterproductive and precisely why you shaft yourself time and time again. Especially when volatility picks up. Does it make sense to have an invalidation point 1% away when the daily range is 5%? What if the weekly range is 15% and your invalidation point is 5% away? You're not giving yourself enough room for error and are likely sizing too large. Reduce position size. Allow your trade idea to have a wider margin for error. Focus on the execution. Don't obsess over perfect entries. Nobody gives a f*ck on the timeline. Just focus on your trading. If you take a trade on the daily time frame, it's likely to take days or weeks to play out. Don't execute a trade on a high time frame. Immediately drop to the 1 minute and watch it like a hawk. Then proceed to type in the ticker via X search to see if others agree with your thesis. Scouring discord and telegram group chats for more bias support. Trade smaller, follow the process, focus on one strategy, be patient, and stay consistent with the basics. The PnL will sort itself out. Don't overcomplicate it and work on the simple things. If the reasons that you got into the trade are still true, there's no reason to get out
