I found out that almost all my fail trades come from some kind of reversal, I often assume that we have open test drive rather than open drive, so subconsciously I'm still looking for reversal. Need to really diferenciate for myself strict difference of open drive and open test-drive, maybe there is lover chance of open test-drive early in the day, profile still not formed and P shape could easily become double distribution not with down trend, but with uptrend.

At same time, I could see at least some kind of my perception shift, I start think less that trend overextended and jump when see momentum, best trades that I have was those, which before I could mark as overextension. But still my enters not perfect, I always jump on momentum and have slippage, which create worse price for me.

In the end MES didn't make new high and run in opposite direction as I initially expected, but I didn't supervise it, because loss trade on MES early in the day. Does I read context properly or it was luck? Even if I read it properly, why I didn't check again after only 1 lose trade?

Enter was bad, I entered in high price, but with moment, price made pullback and sit there for some time. Need to find out a way to improve enters, wait pullback. The problem that pullback could give better price, but there is a cases where there no any pullbacks and price run quickly, need to find a way to differentiate it.
