Sunday Retrospective for November 9

Patience, Precision, and the Ongoing Battle with Early Exits

• Weekly review showed strong improvement in directional accuracy and entry timing.

• The short setups through resistance performed particularly well across multiple sessions.

• Core weakness remained in holding discipline—many traders exited before reaching target zones.

• Ernie emphasized that structural confirmation should outweigh emotional discomfort.

• Top performers demonstrated trust in prep, holding positions through expected retracements.

Summary

The November 9 retrospective captured a week of high technical accuracy but uneven trade follow-through. The team’s bias and levels were mapped with consistency, and most entries reflected clear confidence in the process. The issue, however, was persistence—patience in execution continues to lag technical skill.

Traders repeatedly exited before structure broke, surrendering potential gains in moments of volatility that were accounted for in prep. Ernie made it clear that discomfort is not a signal; structure is. The setups were sound, the process valid, but emotional reactions shortened trades that deserved to run their course.
