This one really bugs me.

I study every day. Watch videos. Monitor stocks and charts. Study patterns and candles. Make watch lists.

For each stock on my watch list, I know exactly where support and resistance is, where I want to go in and what a realistic profit target for each trade would be.

Before market open, I narrow it down to a few candidates to trade that day.

But then, all too often, I'm just looking at the stocks that I put on my watch list, observing them breaking out as anticipated and go higher...and higher...and higher..., without me.

And because the optimal entry has passed, I don't chase.

The worst is, in most of the cases, the trade would have happened as I predicted. So I know that my trade plans are good and that my intuition is good.

So why am I hesitating? Why am I not pulling the trigger as often as I could?

Does anyone here have similar experiences and how did you overcome this?
