ℹ️ XRP Remains at the top of the Daily chart BULL FLAG. Considering many XRP holders are holding for the long run periods of sideways price action is often welcomed and is often considered a stronger bullish indicator compared to a price retracement.
Whilst XRPUSD flounders around the decending trendline of the flag top, we note the current 10¢ tracing range of this coin @ 2.3650 - 2.4675.
🟢Our current PLAN looks to accumulate more XRP on decent dips if and when they turn up.✅️ Often when these deep and often fast dips appear traders chuck their plan of trying to buy the dip in the bin then try to sell into the momentum and often end up getting trapped SHORT. ⚠️Below Is A Copy Of My Earlier Education Post You May Find Useful👍
I would consider the following as a GOLD STAR LESSON TO BE SAVED.
Yesterday created a great reminder opportunity that you must have a PLAN & RULES.
Even SeekingPips is human and therefore sometimes will deviate from the plan. The GOLD SECRET is to realise the error and get back on track as soon as possible.
I was very clear on the chart share on 01/01/2025 that I only wanted to accumulate XRP
Here is the copy of that paragraph : "ℹ️ However whilst price remains above 2.10 USD I do not want to take the short side of XRP."
By the next chart share the next day 02/01/25 it was clear to me where price was and that I was seeing a clear BULL FLAG on the DAILY CHART.
✅️ With that information I had a plan❕️✅️
ℹ️So what's the lesson you ask?❔️
⭐️Well Seeking Pips didn't stick to the plan. Price was still well above 2.10 but shared a short chart idea. This is why a TRADE JOURNAL is a GREAT idea. In real time you may not see or notice any TRADING ERRORS but by having a journal it's in black and white and you can spot any problems early.✅️
⚠️So what were the KEY POINTS from yesterday?
🟢 Based on the D1 timeframe chart there was no valid reason according to my PLAN to conditioner any short positions.
🟢 Even based on the intra day timeframes that I use my RED LINE on my chart share at 2.3268 was never traded below.
🟢 Too zoomed in to price on lower timeframes. Seeking Pips considered the intra day timeframes and price action over what the Daily and Weekly charts were indicating.
🟢 Quantity over quality, wanting to be active and share some content, even given the fact that the DAY, WEEK and EVEN YEAR had just started.
🟢 NOT GIVING the IDEA time to play out. Barely two hours earlier I had already decided that my bias was to the long side. There was no trigger to invalid that bias.
⭐️THE LESSON⭐️ Trading is not all about Lambos and penthouses. Yes that can be a final goal if you want it to be BUT to get to that point you really do have to iron out all of the ugly stuff first...
