I don't know what's happening, my stop on oil short top ticked. This is when I question stops but when I don't use I will be taken to a ride.

I am about to shutdown for the month after consecutive losses..I hate this and I find myself in this situation while shorting so shorting is not my forte (I know that but still my reversal mentality doesn't listen).

A break is always good, come back refreshed.

Hi !

I hope everything will be alright. Trading is sometimes pushing our limits to some extreme level. Be careful to trade only money you are open to give away. You won't be emotionally affected and be able to trade rationally. Think about it when you'll come back.

USOIL had reversed up with a nice double bottoms pattern. I don't how long it will last. Uptrend seems strong but already on its way.



Best Regards,
P.

Minimized my losses by some 8 ES points. I wouldaaa covered all losses but hesitant to hold multiple contracts...anyway this kind of trading impulse trading is done for me...

My bias/context today

After trading like a fool for last two day's even-though I am right in my prediction still lost so I plan to take trades
at different pre-defined levels only and no impulse trading and only three trades per day.

Driving Force - NQ to the down, OIL and Russel to the up (Look for weakness in these two)

Day prediction - Going to be trend down day, wait for confirmation on $VOLSPD and SELL bounces at KEY levels ONLY

Reasons - Breadth deteriorating, Resistance on daily charts, divergence in $VOLSPD at higher time frame

Key levels for shorts - YM (16967 and 17013) and ES (1992 and 1996)

Key levels for longs/reversals - Look for support levels on TF for now I see 1082 then 1074 area.
