I started bending the rules yesterday on my LE short entry. Instead of waiting for the day bar close, I mapped out my entry and executed it. It turned out more look like a long set up by end of the session. I also placed my entry lower than the setup point because I didn't think the price would come to the optimum point where the setup was best at. It eventually came passed the point and passed it and made it more like a long setup. This mistake cost me $400. This kind of thinking is actually fearing of missing.
Today, I entered a ZC long with the same kind of rule bending and thinking (fear of missing). I upped my entry and didn't wait for closing. It turned out to be a short setup by the end of session. Mr. Market is very tricky. Need to wait for him to show his hand first. Now, I got trapped and going to try to unwind myself.
FROM NOW ON, FOLLOW MY SETUP AND RULES. Yes, there may be some missed orders, it's OK and better be consistent from entry.
