I can have both practice and system-generated PA charts on one screen! What does it tell me? Turtle crawling choppy morning LOL!

Post-Trading Realization: Not counting the 16+ points gap up overnight, it's a very narrow-range day IMHO.

Beth

If my memory serves me right (please correct me if I'm wrong), I do promise a newbie trader "me" a promotion IF I've the nerve to place a real trade. Even it's a promise to myself, I have to deliver it .. haha ..

So, after this post submission and if I do not hear any objection EOD, I will promote myself to "Intermediate" tonight. Thank you!

Beth

I got lucky and price finally broke down (recent LL @1114.50). I enjoyed a profitable short to boost my confidence though it's not official. Practice Practice Practice = "almost" perfect .. haha ..

Hmm, I need more practice on the Volume chart as I noticed the red COTs and yet not sure how many = great signal!?

Beth

1113 was touched and I thought the next one was 1099.00. Just noticed the next one should be 1106.25 which was touched seconds ago. I did a Long around that area when I spotted rejection and it's a profitable trade as well.

For Fade the Extreme Set-up, it's important to buy or sell with initiative buyers/seller. Or wait for acceptance or rejection, then position your trade accordingly!

Doing sim and real trades = 2 completely different worlds. Even I care about the results of my sim-trades, my emotion has not been flipping 360 degree LOL. Well, .. ..

Beth

I did another profitable Long when price broke DT. How can I simulate my real-trade emotion when doing sim ones? Or better still - how can I simulate my sim-trade emotion (so much calmer and fearless) when doing real ones?!!!

Beth (Let me think .. )

Cory just uploaded the subject to the Elite section. Thanks Cory!

Price behaves more tamed (currently around 1108.00) and it's a 2-point difference from yesterday's Close @1110.50. Not sure if it will stay that way before the market opens. If it does,

Top VPOC 1117.75
Bottom VPOC 1099.00

Have a Successful day.

Beth

I over-worked this morning ..

Goal Accomplished: All A or at least B+ trades. C for me as I was too slow to react especially for the second trade when I thought my trade was closed profitably and it's not filled. Then missed getting out earlier and SL was hit. Tomorrow will be a Better day!!

Beth
