here were my thursday trades.. i ended up down 2.4 points or 24 ticks.. it seems allot worse than it really was.. i had two bad trades, and 1 'mistake' trade where i misclicked and put a limit out for entry when i wanted to enter on a stop.. and then i had the mkt pegged on 2 trades, 1 filled my tgt and one i had the tgt a bit to far away and it turned on me to quickly before i could properly adjust myself to BE.. so i guess that trade was a good one with a bit of mistake sprinkled in.. one more day till the weekend!

im still recovering from the weekend.. but here are exactly the trades i would have taken.. lotsa winners on the TF and no losers, and two winners on the 6E with no losers.. also the large moves are misleading as i would have taken much smaller profits im sure or moved my stop to BE +1, but still winners none-the-less..
chart of the TF:

looks like we have buyers at the lows here on the ES.. she fell outa bed here over night on little volume and she looks to be entering back into a channel on the 15m..
here is the 5m view:
as of writing this she took another dip, but is met with high volume.. looking for a bounce here maybe..

this was the trade i took today once i got to my computer in the afternoon.. i saw the push up with a ton of selling then i saw the retest that couldnt close above it on the 5m on lighter volume..
my tgt was at prior swing and congestion..

so i tried to short the top of the trend channel on a break below the ND bar.. that pushed right back up to stop me out on a massive bar. then price came right back down from that bar and still in the upper area of that trend channel on lower volume on the push up and the next bar so i thought maybe i was just a tad early.. that also got stopped out and realized i was on the way wrong side of the mkt.. i talked with @t123knight about it and i really hadnt payed much attn to the background of the HT charts..
i decided to stop for the day as the mkt was nearing an end.. all of my past winners i have taken with wyckoff/VSA i really did have a grasp of the mkt background before i had placed the trade, so i need to keep that in mind.. heres to tomorrow..
