You're upset because your entries are failing..
Everyone has the same starting point. You find out about trading and see the potential of it to change your life. You start learning from ICT or your mentor and you find an entry model you like.
You start trying to use it in your trades, you enter the trade. Price goes up and then you get stopped out.
I have been on Twitter for years now and I get messages from you guys DAILY about your issues. One of the most common issues is your entries failing and asking me how my entries work out.
The difference is not a secret entry model I use the difference is how we use them.
You develop this way of thinking the same way children develop trauma.
The process of developing it is simple. You aren’t ready to trade. You don’t know enough but you feel like you do and you go try either backtest using market replay, paper trade, buy a fund, or your funds.

Traders 1 and 2
Trader 1 loses 10 trades and blows the account he concludes that his problem was that his entry was bad because he was on the 5-minute timeframe and he was watching the price take out his stop loss.
Trader 1 develops a wrong view of trading and the same reason his trade failed is the reason why he won’t ever make it, he focused on the entry. He will now try to look for other “secret” entry models all his life and waste his time.
Trader 2 loses 10 trades blows the account and analyzes why he lost, he uses his brain and is conscious when trading, learning, and backtesting. He’s aware that he made a lot of mistakes in his analysis. He looks for ways to improve and fix his mistakes.
Trader 2 is on the way to success and is taking the right steps. He knows his problem doesn’t lie in the entry because that’s the easiest part.
You are extremely focused on the emotional part, the entry. You see the price move up or down fast and you get a surge of feelings.
When you get stopped you feel bad. Once you get stopped out your brain saves that memory and adds it to the other times you got stopped out.
You subconsciously internalize that the LTF is the problem and waste your time learning other entry models when the whole time you were too focused on the LTF and that’s why you lost.
You are going through trading confused and focused on LTF when 99% of your focus should be on everything else.
To fix this problem I will give you a full guide on the process you need to take in the next email.
