would really like to try a long around 72-73, /es that is. need to take out DS2 first here at 75.

may get my 72 zone after a little bounce

however, tick firming up. downchannel broke to upside,

divergence

2 missed trades today so far based on my plan that I would like to document. Both setup in zones that were predetermined. Both gave clear signals based on my trigger.

1) Open drive to yest val 86-87 was good location for short trade. $Tick breakdown through lower trendline trigger

2) 75-76 support zone offers a nice long entry with RSI & tick divergence on 1 min. $Tick downchannel breakout trigger




trade number one, was just not focused on the open.
trade number two, I was waiting on wvwap support zone around 72-73. Volume ladder mentioned above kept me out of trade.

if this fib box breaks above 82, probably missed a dip buying opportunity.

pretty much sums up the day, long was there 76-77. bullish $tick ever since

the train has left the station, again

Decent chance for trend day down today. A/D negatively skewed from the open, open below DS1, $tick bearish. However, market is at last week's closing vwap level here at 73 which could hold as support.

approaching key area here, halfway retracement of last weeks uptrend.
