Hi,

it was a nice day, I was afraid, that in my last hour session will be not interesting moves, but it came. Since the market opened, it was clear, that we are in inside day with many strong areas above and below current price level. I was prepared to take trades around high of the day, or low in direction back to current open. When I came, price was on the move to overnight low, it worked pretty well as a strong support area in morning part of the day, so I just sat on my hands to see the signal. Yes, on RB10 created visible reverse bounce from ONL, the close crossed also HMA, which made my decision more stronger to go in. I saw my target in area of OPEN or around EMA on RB10. I was very agressive with moving my stop loss, because of countertrend trade and it saved me 2/3 of opened position. Only 5 ticks left to my target.. I could repeat 2x this trade, but I didnīt find enough courage in myself to take more countertrend trades. There was also visible divergence on 1min chart, but it didnīt help me in my decisions. I see my current biggest problem in too wide brakes between trading, I need to get more time for trading. So thatīs it, all I have done for today. Not bad, but it might be much more better.

Thanks man, I will tell this to my wife . I guess, that we will have lot of fun at home .

hi traders,

I guess, that this move on CL had to come, it was sneaking couple days around bottom line of uptrend channel, no dynamic moves up, so I would be prepared if... if I wouldnīt trade last hour of market session. We could see, that premarket pushed price nicely below up-trendline on a daily chart and after open it didnīt attack new highs, so it was good opportunity to short this market. I saw the cause of strong reversal 30min candle in touching bottoms from 21.5. and 24.5. , then came my time. But I missed the jackpot trade, I didnīt take the best ocassions - hard to describe why I made those trades...

I was expecting another move down, but since opening the market it was one beautiful ride up to yesterdayīs high. I tried to take couple trades around this level and it wasnīt best moves, that I picked up.

#1 short entry: bounce from YH, PT: EMA on RB10
this was only a short scalp, in created channel, which worked better than I thought.

#2 short entry: / no valid reason, PT: very modest on ONH
not good trade from beginning, it missed any clever idea, I just saw break of 2 hour channel and I wanted to see price going down.

#3 long entry: bounce from YH, PT: HOD
nice trade, almost the same running like yesterdayīs last trade, but I didnīt have to close it manually.

I opened and funded couple days ago little account for forex to get the feeling to get used real money for real trades, I trade with it european opening with very simple strategy, which I can describe here in next days. I wasnīt able to open a trade in a first day, but then I settled down. Just some news

I like todayīs market, I learnt so much. I traded only the last hour as usual, but I tried to analyze complete day.. After the open I saw a little space between yesterdayīs settle price and current open, which was filled up in the first hour properly. I donīt take it as a regular gap, but I have seen many times, that the market likes to fill it, if not in current day, it happens in next days for sure.

What then...? The price touched price level 100,00 and on daily chart is visible this touch as contact price with low channel of previous uptrend (blue dashed line). Then it went very "slowly" down . It passed couple important s/r areas, where I found possible entries.

It was very interesting for me to watch how market reacts on the longterm gap, visible on daily/weekly charts. When the reversal candle closed (30min chart) , I thought that it will be not possible to get solid entries,because of too many s/r levels from both sides. I didnīt realize how far was the distance in ticks, but then I got it.

trades:::

#1 #2 entry : no valid signals... I was so excited about todayīs move, that I saw entry everywhere - my bad.

#3 short entry: bounce from s/r level, PT: EMA, LOD
I was glad, that I calmed down and then I could see much clearer, how is the market behaving. I was little bit fed-up, that I donīt have enough space for larger PT because of EMA, so I decided to ignore EMA as a Profit target. I was moving my stoploss according to new bars on RB10.

ups, I did it again...! My usual scenario with disaster at the end looks like following situation: I came too late to trade, I donīt prepare myself properly with premarket observation, I forgot to check reports, I donīt setup my platform as I should, I donīt respect type of the market day.. the worst thing is my silly mind, as I had couple better days I forget this mentioned scenario and I do it again. Better thing is, that I made only 3 trades, no more chasing the market, but I feel really bad.

I will draw areas for possible entry signals for next days with balance mood like today before I start to trade. It will help me to focus only on those areas and I will overlap the noise, which I canīt trade.

friday is here, or better say, it is almost over friday ...I am little bit uncharged, tough week, but I am looking forward every day for this last hour of session on crude. As Spartacus showed me how to read "the story" of markets I am trying to do it in my way and I really like it. Each day becomes interesting to me.

I had only couple minutes to trade, I missed best possible signal around 19:30 of my time. So I tried to catch as much as market offered me, but it created too many pullbacks after each entry. I could be maybe more modest with my targets and I would have better result, but I feel fine, much better than yesterday.

have a nice weekend
