You Saw the Breakout—So Why Didn’t You Trade It?

Dollar Slides, Breakouts Missed & Mindset Matters

From over-focusing on current trades to clinging to biases, traders can overlook breakout setups even when they’re flashing in plain sight. This issue is about sharpening your awareness, refining your flexibility, and preparing for the next move before it happens.
