I had my new entry setup perfectly. Levels marked, alerts set, everything ready. And then it happens… the price comes so close to my entry point—just a tiny bit off—and then it bounces away, never to return.
No fill.
No trade.
Just me, watching it move without me.
It’s honestly one of the most frustrating parts of trading. That feeling of being right… but not quite in. You do all the work, stay disciplined, wait patiently—and then miss it by a fraction.
It's sad, annoying, and makes you want to chase—but I know that sticking to the plan matters more. Even if it hurts in the moment.
Sometimes, missing a trade is better than forcing a bad one. But man… it still stings.
