This morning I opened the chart as usual — in my analytical window.
An interesting setup was forming: the breakout was on high volumes, the H1 MACD crossed from bottom to top — everything looked like preparation for a long position. On the M5, the RSI was overbought, but the MACD had not yet given a crossover. I was waiting for a retest to enter, but at some point, I just got tired and decided to distract myself.
Later I checked — and it was not in vain. The breakout turned out to be false, and the price sharply reversed downward.
Sometimes not entering is also part of the strategy. Especially when you have 100 trades ahead, and each one weighs on the statistics. I already have three — the marathon is just beginning.
