Trading time 2 hrs / scratch day

day 6 summary





day 6 trade



Gold had a bullish price pattern and the Daily candle was an inside day signal.
I missed the Globex session trading signals to go long and to go after the prior day high, thinking i would be able to do it at the NY OPEN.

I forgot that today is a short day due to that holiday feast.

At NY OPEN, 120min chart had a double inside bar signal.
I was ready and had a few good buy signals on a 5min chart where i was targeting that 120min signal breakout.
I didn't respond fast enough to take early profits thinking the price would just keep going.
I got greedy, i wanted a bigger chunk for my first target.

The gods were not kind. The price slapped me silly.
Being negative made me lower the amount of engagement contracts and get into the recovery mode.
The Double inside bar on 120 min chart was a very solid breakout signal.
It helped me capture and recover a good chunk back.
The last trade was a good bouncing buy signal of the Globex Lows level.

In summary.
I kept my head cool and focused on finding the signals and connecting the dots.
The will of the gods was on my side today. I give grateful thanks.
It helped me learn more about myself and recover well

day 7 summary




day 7 trades


Had small issues with ninja 7 platform, because of the microsoft silverlight app
I'm still not comfortable with ninja 8 even though it does have many more features.
The interface of ninja 8 seems much slower then ninja 7, anyways, a good day otherwise.

Late start, and to make it worse, i didn't follow my basic engagement rules.
I stopped before causing any more damage

Ouch... but call me a liar if I say I hadn't done it myself. Many times. LOL... I feel your pain man. Shake it off, collect yourself, and get back in there.

Thank you bud / its a true shit-show in my mind.
I know what the rules are, i made them, and yet i want to bend them, hilarious stuff.

At least I fully accept the responsibility now. It took a while to come to this point, what a journey indeed!

Yep, the longer i stare at the screen the more tired and stupid i become!
