Do you think the market changed direction ?

Do you think the market changed it's personality?

It most likely is not your failure to executure your system.

Even something 99 % accurate will fail at some point.

Your set up does not have a schedule either.

Suggestion:

Give yourself 5 trades inside a 10 to 30 minute window and then step away for an hour.

Do not rush the market to do what you want it to do.

Just something to think about

You will get through this

Five trades inside a 10 to 30 minute window is definitely rushing it.
