Another profitable day, but today raised an important question: what happens when you miss the entry?

I’m still struggling with the opening entry—knowing when I should take the trade and, just as importantly, when I need to accept that I’ve missed it and not chase the move. I made that mistake again today, and this one was on me.

The strategy itself gave me opportunities, but my execution around the open still needs work. I need to become more disciplined about recognizing when the original entry is gone rather than trying to jump onto a train that has already left the station.

You’ll see exactly what happened in the trades below.
