$100 for Friday. I hit the buy instead of sell but waited for the wave to give back the profit.

Here is a short document describing what I look for each morning and how I trade the price action.

+20 ticks profit to start the week. Only one mistake as I was still in sim for my earlier trade and had to wake up for the live one.

Method: I am still using the PATS method adjusted to my own preferences. I only use indicators to get a feel for the direction of the market. I may change those occasionally, but they are not for signals. I have started to include the MES and ZB when I see a setup. The ZB is nice since you get better profit per commision. I have also started using the Jigsaw trading DOM to see the order flow better. If I see a potential area on the chart, I watch the order flow to see if the bids and offers support a decision. I am better funded this year as well. Last year was a bit tricky with a small account to keep my risk where I wanted it. Happy Trading!
