In this solo trading commentary, the creator breaks down two nearly identical trades executed on consecutive days: a profitable EUR trade during the New York morning session that netted about $2,000, and a losing oil trade taken during the London session that resulted in a $500 loss. Both trades relied on the same technical pattern—a newly formed order block followed by a price continuation entry. The video explains the chart setup for each trade, highlights that even high‑probability setups can produce opposite outcomes, and stresses that short‑term results should not dictate strategy. The presenter argues that consistent, data‑driven execution of such setups, especially when taken in optimal session timing zones, yields a positive long‑term edge. He emphasizes trusting historical performance data, maintaining discipline through losing streaks, and avoiding doubt about a proven setup despite occasional losses.

So I'm about to break down 2 exactly similar trades that I took yesterday. One of them ended up making about 2 grand and the other one ended up, you know, losing me $500. So what gives if they're the exact same setup? Well, let's get into it. So this is the first one on euro right here that I took yesterday around the New York morning. Took advantage of this newly formed order block and then took advantage of price to just kind of give a continuation. Now prior to that, price has already been pumping. So I was literally just taking advantage of, again, around 9:00 AM New York, just taking advantage of continuation. Let's move on to this other trade here on oil. Very similar, except I took this on London. As you can see on the chart, this is pretty much the same thing where I had an order block. I took advantage of the order block. I ended up getting stopped out. Price did not even hit the TP, but overall this was a very similar setup. So the point I'm trying to make here is that just because you have a high probability setup, you're not going to win all the time, right? In trading, you can do everything right and still be wrong sometimes. And sometimes you can do everything wrong and you can still make money. The point is not the immediate short term. It's— the point is not to focus on the results of, you know, individual trades, right? It's all about the long term. I understand from my data that as long as I'm taking continuation trades like this at around good timing zones, in this case, this was during the London session, then I'm gonna make more money than I lose. And so I trust in the data and every time that setup comes around, I take it regardless of if I go through a 5 or 10 losing streak taking that exact setup. It's not like I'm just gonna doubt it, right? Right? Because it's something that works and the data has shown it.
