LOL, freaking morons, I added on that ramp up and got out for small loss.

Oh boy this YM short is exhausting, that's it I am sticking with mini Russell (TF)... No fancy charts but at least I know institutions are trading not locals.

I don't think locals like to pay monthly data fees, just a thought...after the fees increase lot of people found alternatives for day trading.

Thanks Ron for checking in. All those demons came back haunting and took my profits out and as usual I got frustrated and disgusted with myself but NEVER GAVE UP and just taking up the fight with Mr. Market on daily basis.

I am trying to follow a PLAN but still faltering in executing it but that's fine I guess, it's part of the fight.

Trying to re-start...KEY IS TO FORM A PLAN, ADJUST THE PLAN (If needed) and EXECUTE THE PLAN...let's see if I can do it, I am aware of volatility in coming days but need to start somewhere to shed the FEAR.

CL

Weekly Trend - Down

Daily - Bear flag

News - Report Day

Hypo - 1

Trading levels - Upper bound 48.40, lower bound 47.20

Hypo - 2

Buy at 45.90 with 30 tick stop on QM for a swing


------------------

ES

Weekly - Neutral
Daily - Flat
News - UK election and Comey testimony

Hypo - 1

Trading levels - Upper bound 2337/39, lower bound 2421/2413

Hypo - 2

None or swing short if price stays below 2337-40
