W#48 THU & FRI
11.29-30.2018


THU
The "counter trend" that counted and allowed... iSwingS2753.50
1. Failed BO of 2755 previous High after FOMC Minutes pop, similar to last FOMC selloff day.
2. Purple ABC triangle T161.8% @2749.50 hit
3. Potential H&S is forming
4. Potential retesting point BO @2692 of Wednesday's squeeze, near hwb50%L2680 T2788
5. @3pmET Reversal time frame

FRI
LDOM.LastDayOfMonth bullish bias when preMarket bought VAL and NYSE Open with Buyers grind price higher--
@9:35amET Increased selling volume but price not going down lower (see Intraday charts).

Always treat "counter trend" trade as scalp instead of swing until proven otherwise...
Signal was given, no choice but to abort this potential "counter trend" failure even though Asia and European sessions were selling;
NYSE session was still The "Boss" with BIG Money...

As a newbie, take action... take it quickly without hesitation!

It's when Big Boys rebalancing and hedging at MOC=Market On CLose.

I learned about it from Marlin Cobb at mrtopstep.com
"Accumulation of the MOCs.
At 3:45 pm ET, the NYSE broadcast the stock imbalances for the pending MOC order. For us MiM traders, we refer to this time as the Reveal. For the previous hour and a half, we have been predicting how this number will look by adding up early imbalance indications which only become real orders and announced at that time. "


However, I started tracking at 3pmEST when Bond Market Closed to see which direction Bond traders push last hour of trading in ES Market (see intraday chart attached).

As a newbie, always remember that Markets will usually have big moves or higher volatility on the last and first trading days of the month.

What the heck is "DoNothingDay"?

"Nothing" in term of trading related activities, tasks... It's alright to sleep all day; but do enjoy a McDonald's McRib instead of a usual Jimmy Dean's frozen Croissant breakfast.
The McRib Is Back and You Can Have It Delivered
https://www.foodandwine.com/news/mcrib-return-2018-delivery-ubereats

Do clean house, laundry, and take time to cook a gourmet meal.
Don't cook? Don't have a thoughtful sister who does groceries shopping and preparing home-cooked meals for next week?
Have no fear, check out this link for CHEF-COOKED, DELICIOUS MEALS DELIVERED TO YOUR FRONT PORCH.
https://frontporchpantry.com/

As a newbie, be sure to take a "DoNothingDay" to rest and re-charge, and be ready for weekend homework, next.

SUNDAY 12.02.2018

Start with one hour of walking and listening to:
1. 20 Habits of Highly Successful Traders - Dave Westgate
Published on 8 Nov 2016


2. Best Moments In November - Anthony Crudele
https://futuresradioshow.com/podcast/bestmomentsnovember/

Take a long bath, have a good breakfast with tea, or cappuccino.
Begin by viewing Calendar Events for December weekly & monthly
https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php
https://ninjatrader.com/blog/trade-desk-calendar/
Write major events down and think about a trading plan with those events in mind.

Check emails, surf social media, catch-up with recorded webinars.
Skim through headlines but don't read the news.

Update & redraw Fibs retracements or ABC triangles for all charts--how many charts would depend on how many instruments.
Could be a time-consuming task before lunch; so have a good lunch before reviewing weekly chart-journals, next.

As a newbie, make a good habit of doing weekend homework for weekly & monthly routinely. --Do listen to music, or music video as well.

As of 11.29.2018


Chart #1 preFOMC Minutes with 200SMA @2723 holdingUp
Chart #2 postFOMC Minutes failed BO of @2755 previous High
Chart #3 bearish Gartley pattern is in the picture with higher target. Therefore, blue Bearish Cypher pointD @2775 would be a potential failure, especially on last and first trading day of the month.

Weekly Back-up Trading Plan


Just read an article from TopStepTrader stating that Tracy Shuchart, a long-time oil trader, says frequently that you need a plan, a back-up plan and a back-up to the back-up plan.

Perfect for this Sunday GapUpOpen 30 points that passed bearish Cypher ptD T2775 in nano-second. No surprise, right?
Friday's Daily chart is confirming the break-out of DTL.DownTrendLIne, not to mention all green candles since Double Bottom with potential "W" pattern in the making to retest @2820-2825 NeckLine.

Notes:
As of MON 12.03.2018
rollSwingS2812.50 Trail Stop above 2825 NeckLine
iSwingL2731.50 Took Profit when too Overbought & Failed BO & SellOff @4amET and @9:30amET
iSwingL2775.75 hwb50%L2772 T2837 (anchor @2729YLow)


Scheduled Events:

WED

As a newbie, always have ONE trading plan, at least!

Monthly TradingPlan for MAR2019 Rollover


Enjoy this What's Up song...
"Hey, Hey... and I said: Hey, what's going on?"

Just early plan for Quarterly Rollover.
THU 12.06.2018 DoR-5
THU 12.13.2018 DoR
THU 12.20.2018 DoR+5
I trade five days before and five days after Rollover Day aggressively.
Total concentration and focus--meaning no phone, no social media, no emails. no happy hours... during RTH.RegularTradingHours.
Just "Eat, Sleep, Homework, and Trade" - everyday is a groundhog day!
Therefore, may not able to update daily, but will take time to document this quarterly rollover process and post results over the weekend.

As a newbie, do practice in SIM to gain experience because it's definitely a confusing rollover process.
Hope that this song is really perfect to "lift" yourself up!
