However, every time I enter those trades I don't feel very confident in them and get out of them a few hours later at break even. I guess I am not confident in my trading plan. I think partially why my London trades work is because I analysis the charts put in a market order and then go to bed. Then I don't have to think about it and watch the position go in the negative and back to positive over and over. I do not know how to resolve these psychological issues. I don't want to have blind faith in my trading system, but it just is not working out for me during New York session.
If anyone could provide me some wisdom I would be greatly in debt to you,
Thanks,

Hello swordofrue
I have same problem as you.I just don't have enought patient when i'm watching a charts.Even worst cause i'm trying to keep trade for a days even weeks.It's not verry funny to stay and watch a trades for a days
.And we are humans not a robots we have emotion i figure out that, when i'm at wining position i feel my self beter during whole day.When i have loosing trade i feel abit upset even i know that loosing is part of game
.May be this is what we need to fight with.I mean i'm my worst enemy and my best frend.It's hard to control it but with time and learning i will be confident with myself.
I think that it's more inportant to be able to control myself instead of should i loose or win. So i do it like that, i make a analysis put my entry, my SL and my target and promiss my self to not touch that trade till it hit SL, or target. Simple
but not easy
.
One advice that may help remove your terminal window from your chart software ! Don't watch numbers ! Watch targets, watch patterns, watch movments, never watch numbers.When the time come what you get as knoledge will come to you as numbers. That what i belive.Wish you luck.
Best regards
