Number of live trades made in 6 years: guessing couple hundred
Number of years trading full time: 0
Number of accounts blown: 1 going on 2 (reason for starting journal)
Trading style: Price action, 4 tick scalp.
Currently trading MES pre market open and after hours close due to other full time job. Hoping someday will be fortunate enough to trade full time. Was trading the ES but trading account somehow shrank :egg:
These trades were made Thursday after market close, thought I would start my journal with some wins. Not always the case though.
Based off of a measured move, one leg down completed and 2 corrections or second entries with a very bearish prior candlestick. I entered at last possible minute and none to soon. TBH last minute entries is something I'm working on.
Second trade made was based off the continuation of the second leg down measured move. Although you can see I have one of my arrows placed a little high for the completed second leg. Forgot to mention the very bearish prior candlestick.
One more note, I settled on a 950 MES tick chart while monitoring a 2000 tick ES chart during my trades. I found watching the ES although slightly different than the MES in candlestick charting gives me more confidence in making the trade.
Both of these trades were successful unlike the trade made the morning before. What was I thinking
