4/3/2018 - Learning Better Homework

Today was rough. I went down -$1000 and ended the day +145.
Most of the problem was that the OTF did not step back in for rally continuation.
I think this was due to me trading during NY/Chicago...

4/2 Trades - Boredom, Lack of patience, some analysis confusion

11 trades today, WAAAAAY too many. There were only about 5 valid setups.

I failed to just sit and watch the Day timeframe singletimeframe the move and take an intermediate timeframe view.

Fresh Start with New Eyes and Ears after 9 months - 3/28/2018

I've been following FT71 (and still do), but he loses/confuses me because he cites too many statistical studies that he considers. He doesn't use the overnight session data consistently, which I...

2017 07 13 Major morning

I couldn't believe how far this market has rallied and cleared that giant value area from 3 weeks ago.

Last trade was very late in the day but I left it on with OCO order to see what happened.

It blew by my 200% target and executed at the 261.8% level.

Addendum to last trade

Sliding back in the chair looking at the chart, it struck me that it's a series of fractal patterns.

2017 07 12 Minor, Short against minor VPOC

I saw the sharp move down that washed me out of my previous profitable long at break even.

2010 07 10 NQ minor, micro VAH reject for long continuation
