Hi Traders
As planned, I shorted at 2453.50, below my h4 box
no profit target, it all depend hows the development, key milestone ahead will be last week mpoc 2444.This is a swing trade ( as i always do), if thing goes in the right way i expect to hold for days or even week.

Hi Traders
I give up the short signal on wheat as thing not developed in a good way despite a close below my h4 value area.

Hi Traders
From yesterday plan, i only have ES materialized and then stopped out. There rest of the expectation didnt play out very well and i didnt have any other position.

attached my excel spreadsheet in PDF and journals in details (.7z). there have been quite a number of signal i passed and the reason pretty much base on my signal scorecard. I think i will come out with a simple guideline how to read my scorecard. then hopefully it will make sense to people other than myself. I single out Spreadsheet, Gold, Wheat and ES which i mention in my game plan yesterday so if you are interested only in particular market you dont have to download the whole 7z file.

Hi Traders
Again, i will highlight those market that i have almost a complete setup or had traded today before this post.

I have a Breakout from volume congestion, Short position on Euro Dollar, watching closely for a possible add-on if a lot of actiivity near 1.1570 and show resistance to break above.


Long Sugar, also breakout from volume congestion, also watching out for another close above my box to add on at least one more contract.


Pending Long ES, after stopped out, the landscape had changed and i m now cautiously bullish on ES, this may change after my H4 gotten a new box in 2.5 hours time, likely i will remove my pending order by then.

Hi Traders
As planned, i added in one more contract to Long, at 14.28 on Sugar. 1st entry was 13.21. it doesnt bother me i added into a higher price as long as add-on was done within the range i define, which is usually 20-30% above ( For Long) average box size


Looking forward to add another one if given chance, around same area but this third position i will prefer to have it done with little cost averaging effect if possible, it doesnt matter in a single trade of 1 tick cost average, but when it come to totality, 100 trades means 100ticks and it is not any worse than a good winner.

Hi Traders
I just removed my limit order to Long ES near 2457 area. Market has moved a little far from my entry and i would like to reassess the scenario even when pull back happen.



on the other hand, I have not yet added the 3rd Long position on Sugar, i would like to wait for my H4 to re-close above my box, as a further confirmation.

Hi Traders
forgot to mention, i have not yet added my 2nd short on Euro despite a few good try failed to break&Close above the area i mentioned around 1.1570. mainly due to my last 50bars Mpoc didnt shifted up, which mean lot of vol (trade done) around 1.1565 which could be support area also, with that i didnt want to risk additional contract even though it is small risk. I dont see risk in term of absolute dollar, i see risk base on the setup and the lines of defense vs the lines of headwind ahead. So even absolute dollar term is small, i still not biting it.
