trying to rebuild after yesterdays mess. Today seemed to just continue on lower. messed up a bit by trading longs. I have to remember to follow the trend. still trying to get used to letting trades run longer and fighting that urge to close trades early.
today was a mess for me still, but didnt lose too much

i have to remember

-follow the distinguished trend
-Define clear entries/ plans/ points of interest
-catch myself when getting impulsive and emotional.

I indirectly use forexfactory.com they are very reliable. I wrote an indicator for Ninjatrader 8 that parses and shows their news data on your chart. You can download it in the Elite download section.

combine works only with specific version of NT8 beta, I think it was beta 12.
It doesn't work with latest release candidate, which was number 2 (RC2).
They are hoping it will work for final release of NT8 which is scheduled for later this month.

looking to trade well today. Not let my emotions make mistakes and follow my rules and loss limit

Market currently seems to be in a reversal zone and is pottential getting ready to fall.

Plan is to trade pulls back short today until it reaches an support in the high 2080

keeping an eye on volume and checking larger time frames for a bigger picture.
