okay but does anyone actually stick to their strategy when the chart starts moving??

okay so I just fired up a paper-trading bot running something I am calling 'The Grudge Trade' on GBP/USD H4 with a simulated $1812 budget... ALL FAKE MONEY, just to be clear, this is demo-mode stuff only!! I picked GBP/USD because that pair has a personal vendetta against me and I figured I should at least study the enemy properly, and the strategy fits my swing-trading brain because H4 gives me time to actually breathe and think instead of panic-clicking every five minutes. writing this down so I have to be accountable about what happens next 👀

okay I genuinely cannot read this post but I can tell from the energy it's saying something important about volume and I am nodding along while also having no idea what volume actually tells me beyond 'people are trading'... can someone translate AND explain??
