Looks like the trend line coulda been more precise....Don't shoot me Ian LOL

Precision, precision - key to the decision.

like a broken arrow,
don't shoot like it should."

Hi Alex, I am not in horrible shape but down about $400. It just seems like I gotta start every combine by digging a hole!!!!


We can beat this thing!!! Best wishes to you also on your combine.

Quick Summary: Made $90.56. Hmm Ok glad to end up Green, but I still did not trade well...







Premarket: Market stuck in a range. Really dead in the ON action. Watching for clues on direction.

Ok just before 7:40 I get a BO to the downside. I get a nice PB into my CWAP and I am short 48.05. I get first scale +15 ticks, holding the second for a bigger move. TS finally hit for +15, so $300 on the trade. Possible could have managed this a little better. Really didn't get a flush to the downside. I give this trade very high marks though.

Trade 2: Market bleeding lower, I go short 47.74 about 8:47. Market moves a little, then comes back and takes out my trail stop for +2 ticks. Good trade, no complaints. Market just didn't move.

https://nexusfi.com/attachments/230379d1490321665

Trade 3: Short 47.77 at 10:08. This was kind of dumb. I had a good setup, but very late in the day. I have to go to work very soon. Really should have let this alone. I end up losing -4 ticks on the trade. Not horrible just not a great trade.

https://nexusfi.com/attachments/230380d1490321665

Trade 4: This was dumb...impulse trade. Short 47.76 after just being stopped! Not much time. Just dumb!! I lose -7 ticks. Nothing good about this trade really.

https://nexusfi.com/attachments/230381d1490321665

So in summary, I am up $340, and give back $220. After all my comish, I only make 90 bucks. I am my own worst enemy....

I also missed one of my best trades. Not one of my better performances that's for sure!!

Talk to you all tomorrow,

Quick Summary: Down $94.72. Just a nothing day. I basically went back to bed and didn't trade til almost 9:30, but I should have just left it alone LOL.




Trade 1: Short at 47.69 (9:28). Nice PB to CWAP, but market just bled higher. Stopped out for -5 ticks.

Trade 2: Short 47.71 (10:01). Momentum breaking down. But momentum quickly died out and the trade went nowhere. I was about to stop out but finally market moved a little bit for me. I closed trade for +1. Had to leave for work.

Have a great weekend everyone,
