It happens to many new (and seasoned) traders. You convince yourself that you need to participate in a particular trade only to find it doesn’t work. You start adding indicators and making it more complicated. You throw money at it, but still, it’s just not working.
Some instruments just aren’t great to trade and sometimes you need to find a trade that better resonates with your approach to the markets.
