Trade Review
3/1/24 #MES1! #SPX Set up was based on a 15m-FVG that was trading through the daily. I was aware that it would be going against the trend and that there was a possibility that price would not sell off completely. This FVG was used as an IFVG and price bought from it instead.
I had opportunities to get my 1:1 off of the setup, I didn't take it and instead took the loss and compounded the loss by jumping back in on impulse on the 10:05 5m candle.
I should have also considered that the screen was glitching and the app was not adjusting the orders fast enough on the Dxtrade account and on TradingView. I can't trade from these online apps and take my 9am call. Doing this seems to slow down my laptop to a point where the screen freezes and anything I'm trying to do gets stuck. Even during the trade I had to close out of Safari and open everything in Chrome to see the charts.
