Hi Traders
Almost missed my signal as i was not very keen to Long ES/NQ deep inside my heart given the high valuation. But that has nothing to do with my plan which is techincal and based on vol profile. So, i have to execute my plan.

Done 3x ES Long


awaiting NQ to complete the setup also, with Long bias of course.


Thank you @Hanneke
visiting your post remind me of important principles:
being vigilant to think about both directions and to execute my plan as diligently as possible.

cheers
DarrenC

Hi traders
been busy lately. will keep up my daily post though. just not being consistently on time ( around market open)

still holding my ES n NQ Long





missed Natgas and Crude short. it was valid signal valid entry. i missed it as i was buys doing other stuff.
nothign i can do now. no way to chase. and not expecting price to come back near my entry, even it does, likely not the same context anymore





good luck for those who ride the trend....


cheers

Hi Traders
As usual, month end snapshot:
Highlights:
Missed a couple good run from Crude oil/Copper/Natgas as I was travelling. Overall satisfactory.
Trade execution could have been better in term of identifying opportunity and filtering imperfect setups.
a good run with size from natgas and crude helped to cover losses and make up profit.

Reviews:
Continue to practice bottom line initial risk of 0.5% and build from there up to 1% of capital.
Diligently use checklist and stick note to stay laser focus before placing a trade.
Continue to review Effect of money management to capitalise on big market movement.
Dropping Coffee and Sugar for better time management
Will continue to studythe impact of new money management and signal filter
will explore alternative broker for cheaper brokerage and fees for future consideration



Look forward a better Oct and end 2018 positive!

cheers
DarrenC

Hi Traders
took 3x Long soybean awhile ago.




also, looking at a few markets with possible setups:






again, this is not prediction, it is my action plan should market move within my expectation.... if market doesnt, then good, i have nothing to do but waiting.


cheers

Hi Traders
Last night i took Soybean long positions and all 3 were gone, just didnt work out.



this morning i took Long gold and it was not crystal clear and i only did 1 contract. this is one of the last few thing i still find it ambiguous from my setup, it was the magenta color navigator, i will conduct separate studies to see if i can do anything about that.



also, i look at Euro early session today, it was a good long setup for me and there is valid pull back too. Too bad i m away and not able to check charts and deal.




cheers
DarrenC
