Hi Traders
the Crude signal i missed, end up is a losing trade. But i also missed a good signal, Long ES:


it has been really a disgrace that i missed again. Just to share this is the setup that i like to trade. I didnt trade because i have missed the very first breakout bar and it is not my habit to chase after a signal after i missed first breakout.

i think i need to be aware that I am not being overly risk adverse, especially after i had missed out a few good signals. I start to have the fear that good signals are over and done with me; assuming every 1 winner after 3 losers, whatever signals come next it will be the loser trade. any of you ever have this experience?


cheers
DarrenC

Hi Traders
like i said, i got in a couple of positions today and i have no good feeling about it at all.

I shorted crude and it was a loser.



i also shorted Euro, which i have no confidence at all.




Good Luck!

cheers

Hi Traders
Today i have my eyeball on Gold. I am looking for a small risk entry to short Gold:


Also, I forgot to post my month end result for November,



This month could me one of my best month ever but i missed a couple of good signal as i was busy over personal life. Cant blame anyone, just myself not being committed enough.

Further review will be done during my year end holidays. i will share more once its done.


cheers

Hi Traders
below my month to date excel:

all overnight positions exited. Today i am still watching for better idea except i manage to take one reluctantly. I just Long ES 3x despite we are heading to FOMC.


I would like to take this quiet period to explain more about my trade. ES in this case, is a trend resumed and h1 navigator have not yet passed below zero, which is good enough for me to consider long as long as h1 n h4 trading above box



however, i didnt take up a similar setup on NQ. reason being i have not seen a good swing of momentum from h1 navigator as it went below 0, which is not good for my long signal. unless it can go all the way to -20 and then start turning up again, navigator will be key element for me to consider a trade. IN this case, only -7 and start turning so i m not interested ...


hope you all find this email well.

cheers
DarrenC

Hi Traders
This is the time when we all get busy for many reasons. I will stop trading for now and come back fresher stronger and hopefully better for next year. I will resume trading and posting in 2018. Meanwhile, I will try to crack some numbers from my trade log and share if anything worthwhile.

Until next post, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2018!

cheers
Darren

Just ran across your journal posting. Very impressive hard work to keep it up.
