Make sure your journal includes how it felt for you this morning watching price post FOMC... crucial insight for future reference.

<aside> 🗣️ When I took my long and price was consolidating it was really annoying. My mind was racing with doubts. Shall I hold? Should I close for smaller loss? Eventually I submited to the risk and won, but it was agonizing to trade AM session after FOMC.

ICT: “Now the take away...

When I teach you when I hate to trade, I do so because my precision is off in these times. If I lose, I have to work to recoup in low probability conditions.

So I simply wait for the PM Session instead and allow everyone else to gamble in the AM session.

Losing is part of it, it does not remove the effectiveness of the concepts.

Learn to identify the best conditions and operate in those... and avoid most of the frustration that these kind of days present... or at least I found over my 30 years in this stuff.
