Super crazy move today. Something big I noticed is that the level2 was over 600x600 on the inside bid/offer when it was reversing. We've had volatile moves lately, but today's move takes the cake. I think it speaks well to testing the 155 area gain.

Another big move up today. Very choppy trade, but I'm very happy with how I did. I had 50% win rate, but my winners were much bigger than my losers. I believe having so many big days the past two weeks has really helped improve my consistency. It helps that I was expecting a reversal and move up here, but this kind of action has killed my combines in the past.

My rithmic demo expired today, and apparently they are on to my infinite demos with multiple e-mails scheme. So I spent today setting up another combine account for one last attempt. I've had runs that would hit the combine goal, and I've adjusted my sizing based on probabilities and current performance.

We also hit that 155 that I mentioned on August 1st so yay.

Hey nice thread. hope this run goes well. I am also doing ZB with TST, and joined another room to follow trades.. i've already had to reset my combine once so I'm going to test on sim until I am confident in a system

Friday was a big day, but I was not trading well. Very bad trades in retrospect, but I don't think I can expect to come out big on every big move. It's not a good start to the combine, but it's nothing we can't overcome.



Today was mostly range trading. Looks like balance/fair value here. We may have low volatility until the auctions on Wed/Thurs. I'll be trading extra cautious here. That said I played today really well. I could have had more, but all three of my trades were profitable.



Let me know what you think of showing the vista charts. I find the new cumulative delta really useful, and that's why I put them up. Plus they're pretty.

Another slow day, but good trading. I could have been a bit more agressive, but I'm getting more ok with missing a good trade sometimes.

Had some issues uploading this week. Here's the last three sessions.

Made some bad mistakes today. I keep running into a situation where I read the market response correctly, but it quickly reverses after the news trade is finished. I'm going to add a new rule to keep me out of the market for 15 minutes when releases are volatile. I also saw some things on this reversal that I can look for in the future.

I screwed up today's video, but there wasn't anything that interesting in it. Got chopped up early for not taking targets quickly enough, made some good trades when it finally moved. Came out even.

Really good day for me today. Made 24 ticks, and made money both directions. Good entries and exits.

Great follow up to yesterday's moves. Solid entries and exits, and 8 ticks total profit. There was more in it, but my time was up.
