Market: NQ all day session was stronger then other market. ES during this sesion close gap. Volatility is dangerous LOW(((
Developing process: I`m try to work with my rules and it give result BUT this is realy difficult be constantly disciplined trader. And I think I must be more careful and discipline! At First hour check list I add qestion: During First hour I do same stupid trade or not. If yes I must stop trade!

Market view

Description: In this post this is chart will be main! look to volatility this is not my game!! Rember it. I must update my volatility rule and add volume parametrs to this rule!

Trading result

Description: It was not my day! 1. Volatility was too low 2. At First hour I made two stupid trades! But I follow my RM parametrs, it good!

Pre market plan

Description: During globex sesion volume at this moment more then 80k. That normal for volatility-momentum day. Today price open on the middle VAL-VAH area, that means today no same prior scenario.
Scenario1: Price will be move in range 7680-7730. Look to reaction in this area. And look to short in 7700 area.
Scenario2: Short scenario, becuse this is second delta negative week. Like scenario1 but sellers will be hold price under 7680 area.
Scenario3: Price open in range during 15-20 min and after find buyers and push price higher above 7700. Look to long as support area 7700 or 7715 area

Market: My Scenario1 is perfect. One interest things about weekly VAL and VAH area during Thursday and Friday. This is potential reverse area for this day.
Devoliping procces: Now I will be write not only about my trading comment. I`m change "Trading" to "Developing procces". This is main and focus for me now! About "First hour check list" very very GOOD! But add one thing to this check list view about Correlation on tne market.

Trading result

Description: After "FHCL" I made 3 trades! And one trade was BAD on YM! YM was stronger then other market BUT I`m try to sell him! Wrong! Check Correlation and fix it during FHCL.

Pre market plan

Description: Monday gap down day. Usually US don`t accept them on strong bullish market, my main scenario this is Long scenario.
Scenario1: Price go once more to test 7650 and may be find strong buyer with good buyers impulse or start walk around this price. I will be look same support area.
Sceanrio2: Price at first half of day close the gap and after show PB to 7670-7680 area. Also look support.
Scenario3: This is difficult scenario. Price will be walk around 7670-7680 area, with potential continue go lower. In this case I will be look correlation market. And look to short who will be worse then other.

Trading plan:

About Friday

That was good enough day with one trade like in my plan.

Main info for future
1. Weekly report card, this is perfect format for understand where you and what you do on the market.


2. First hour check list this is importnat part of my trading day. I`m broke this rule at Thursday. Wrong!
Current FHCL:
- Risk managment (good/bad);
- Money managment (good/bad);
- Pre market plan actual or not;
- Market correlation;
- Trading plan;

Trading plan after FHCL this is importnat part of my trading day! Focus on it!

3. Continue test and look Bella from SMB idea: "Don`t sell above daily VWAP area". Or for each trading session I must prepare same fix price for stop buy or sell.

Pre market plan

Description: 3x more O/N volume then ussualy, very good! Strong catalyst news about US-China trade deal. No buy at all today! I think today will be day of OrderFlow and two scenario for short.
Scenario1: Price go higher and market will be try to buy becouse it cheap. But it wrong! And I`m wait sellers around 7740 area.
Scenario2: Price open in range and after step by step go down. Look to 7680 area +daily VWAP.
Important: 7740 area will be edge of short plan. Seat on hand and wait!
