Under the weather

I was unwell for a few days and just now getting back on my feet.

I did trade a bit to relieve the tedium, bad idea as my reflexes and decision making were awful.

I'm down $417 from the last...

Friday was a good trading day

Friday's Coronavirus fear induced sell-off was great for trading. I gained $733, mostly with one contract, stopping around 1pm to take a walk.

I decided to change from renko to range bars as they...

Moving from TA to Order Flow

It's become clear to me that whatever TA I knew from stocks does not transfer well to futures day trading. At least that's my experience.

Order Flow is something that I've been aware of for years...

Snoozer...

Took no action today. Market was a complete snoozer and I did not get a signal to enter.

Proud of myself for not trying to make a trade where none existed.

And its gone...

So, I crashed my Formula 1 race car into the $1000 daily drawdown limit. That's what happens when you take the chicane (volatility) at 200 mph.

I've spent the last 2 days back at the drawing...

Wild day with small gain

Yesterday was a wild ride when news broke of tariffs to remain on China until after the election. In spite of the volatility, I ended up +$10. Worked on fine tuning my setups and exits.

Down Day...But some insights

Today was a down day. Down $728 to a balance of $49,479. Ouch!

What Happened?
After the first 30 minutes or so I could see that there was a lot of chop in NQ.

One car at a time is fast enough for now

While I get used to driving in F1 races, I'm just going to stick to 1 NQ contract at a time. Going too big in size seems to be a common reason why many people blow up their accounts.

I've noticed...

Discipline is the most difficult part of trading

More so than other areas, futures trading requires a plan and the discipline to stick to it.

Every time I've had trouble, the cause was me. I believe in being honest with myself and keeping track...

Renko is my favorite way to watch Futures move

Trading futures is completely different than stocks. No big surprise there.

I like to use vehicles as an analogy. If stocks can be thought of as driving a sedan on the highway, then trading...
