Same addtional info about Friday:
1. In my trading plan iam wrote what iam not trade, BUT i broke my plan and start trade. That means discipline is not good!! "Plan your trade and trade your plan"!!
2. During this fail day i have loss -850$
3. That day accept my rule)) Don`t rade if volatality more then 22-25. I think 22 is MAX (not 25 like it was before);

Weekly report

Chart info

Description: Progres to slow and main problem it "win ratio" is very poor((

Weekly trading statistic
PNL: -205$
Win ratio: 33%
Risk/reward: 2,03
Play book: UPDATE RULE
Profit index: 0,46

Main step to grow for next month
1. Iam find a bottom of volatility for my trading. This is 8,00.
2. Iam find a top of volatility. This is 22,00.
3. During trading time add "Trading zone" and Level to chart for understand where price now and what i can do in this situation.
4. Update Playbook ratio:
- Pattern (yes/no);
- Correct stop (yes/no);
- Correct plaace base on Level+"Trading zone" (yes/no);
5. If i have same additional rule for day- write this rule in pre market plan;
6. At 16-10 i must understand trade today or not! If not close terminal and do same another job!

Market comment
1. Today is Tuesday and volatility is dangerous high like yday and iam not trade during this volatility.

2. Crazy pre market today. Sell off during him.

3. Iam look this market and iam may be understand how i can trade this type of market. This is direction market with big delta directon. During this type of market trade only "Sell off" and "Strong buy" pattern with PB. Not trade "Sell stop" or "Buy stop" becouse no body wait when market came to his sell limit order and give him collect position. All players too agressive and work with big market order.


Market recap

Market comment
It was crazy volatility day! BUT:
1. Iam find and understand what market during low volatility and high volatility work approximatly same and move from volume to volume.
2. Move my edge volatility back to 25, but with rule:
- If volatility 20-25 trade only "PB to DA" pattern
3. Market show me what i must trade on this type of market! Great!

Main moment
"PB to DA" pattern on volatility market (example):

Description: Two main things:
1. Seat on hands and wait strong delta momentum, delta must be more then 400;
2. Wait PB during 15-40 minutes;

Trading statistic
PNL: 260$
Win ratio: 50%
Risk/reward: 3,07
Playbook ratio: 0% (IMPORTANT)
Profit index: 0,4

Description: It was great day for learning, but my trade was lucky! Normaly i can easy have loss;

P.S. Main thing after this trading (testing) day:
1. Don`t trade if volatility more then 25.
2. If volatility 20-25 trade only "PB to DA"
3. Task: Prepare at weekend report comment for ALL volatility period and do same exactly trade rule.
