Closed my TF short for 10 points from yesterday...My thesis still stays but don't want to take chance before FED meeting.

Will look to re-short TF after FED.

I will try to catch falling knife on oil around 43.80, let's see...

Nothing hit my levels so no trades yet today. Maybe, quadruple witching doing it's thing.

My levels are getting hit but just a day late :-(, meanwhile I am doubting myself and levels.

PLAN, ADJUST, EXECUTE and PATIENCE

I placed a resting bracket order on QM. On TF I will watch at level and decide.

As expected 139.45 level hit and bounced hard. Now, I have to observe the reaction.

I don't have any trades yet, this used to be the hard part before. Before, I MUST TRADE everyday used to be my philosophy but now, if levels don't hit not trades so it became I DON'T HAVE TO TRADE (some laziness creeping in due to FEAR/confusing behavior of markets etc.).

Anyway, My levels on CL are clear as I am waiting for OIL to at least show me something on daily chart to go long or climax PUKE. So I will be watching for a long swing position at levels prepared to add more at lows if it goes down again.

IWM is confusing today, I want to short for a quick trade as ES, NQ and YM showing strength.

Hit my level and resting order on QM, I have room to add more after considering other factors.



Edit: Hindsight, I should have waited instead of resting order but when I wait market touches and reverses not this day...My thesis is still valid so going to keep this long.

Edit: Still keeping this long on QM, if price can stay above 42.90 then we have reliable bottom (Of course, that's just my guess).

Out at 43.30 put order back to buy again at 42.85.

Edit: Looks like price is getting accepted here at 43.15 area so got back in at 43.20 will add more if goes down...Cum Delta is turning positive and expectation is shorts are going to freaked out and cover it.

Still holding this long, I will be more confident once price closes above 5 SMA on daily basis.

Edit: I am back to normal busy life with kids and work so not able to concentrate properly so looking for longer term trades only.

Still holding this long in QM, maybe I have to make decision by end of today before report and renter the long if it goes down.

Edit: Closed QM at 44.275 for 100 ticks...I have original target of 44.90 but will take it and re-enter later.

I have to do these kind of trades but should have added but didn't dare.
