I am a supply and demand day trader. I mix in Wyckoff techniques and try to focus heavily on my psychology and emotional state. I've traded for five years and would not say that I've broken out as a consistently profitable trader. I am an expert in that I've made every novice mistake in the book, multiple times. I'll use this post to attempt to create accountability for my rules to the group.
Today I had one trade with a gain of 18 pips. Psychology wise it was brutal. I was in my position from 9:30 am central until about 3pm central. I was in an out of profit 10 times. I had an initial target of about 40 pips and a 15 pip stop. The entire range between the open and close of the day was about 20 pips. Bottom line is that the E$ drifted a lot today.
I will fill in much more detail in the coming days of my plan, struggles, etc. Today is my Mom's birthday so I've got to be brief today.
