"The JOURNEY is always HARD ~ Don't Give Up" ~ Stephen F. Austin 1Shot2Kill4MES2ES.AnythingGoes! The fourth journal series is coming...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Probability+Predictability= Profitability
The next level of Possibility in Swing Trading by increasing Position Size, aka "adding to winners" using existing "paper-profit".
In addition, effectively identify signals from MES 4M chart to attack the SIX High Probability Trade-able setups with predefined setups, entries, and exits.
Inspirational thought:
"If you're lucky enough to have been rewarded in life to the degree that I have, there comes a point at which you have to decide whether to become a slave to your net worth by devoting the rest of your life to increase it or to let what you're accumulated begin to serve you." -- Beating the Street by Peter Lynch who is an American investor, Mutual Fund Manager, and Philanthropist. As the manager of the Magellan Fund at Fidelity Investments between 1977 and 1990, Lynch averaged a 29.2% annual return.

It is FATE...
that you found the Journal Series, and learned about my Journey... to become a BETTTER newbie, a SMARTER trader yourself?
Interesting way to trade. I noticed Gartley type patterns and a lot of fibs and fib extensions which is slightly similar to when I tried out elliot waves and simple fibs. I got the Pensavento book, but kind of gave up and forgot about it for a long while. …

When I saw that FIO posting last year, I thought that I've been there and done that exactly by quit trading and using stocks rules in order to learn rules for trading futures successful... but now, am I crazy to think about "UNLEARN WHAT I HAVE LEARNED" in the past eleven years, again?
Hold that crazy thought for now...

See last section of Evernote for 240M cMAR2020 Trade Plan & Projection as of today expecting CIT.
If it wasn't for CIT then may have to wait for next Full Moon + Lunar Eclipse in JAN 10th, 2020.
Ohhhh... what's the "unexpected"? Clues were in MES 120M and Intraday charts from MES 4M + ES 10M.

2019's final target T3280ish hit but there is no reaction for CIT when Asia session opens.
2020's TIT[@3069.50-3263.50] 38%L3189 T3316 is in play with @3181 Low as High Probability "Hit & Run" Trade... see more info in next posting.
Still a work-in-progress for tracking 120M Swing+ (adding2Winners); so if and when it's finished... it will be posted in Quick Summary Post.
However, I am not posting the tracking for the FIRST and LAST Five Days of Quarterly Rollover with Intraday charts from MES 4M + ES 10M, for now... because I am not satisfied with the format... even after three trials.
✳✳✳✳✳✳✳✳✳✳✳
It's time to end Phase One of 1Shot2Kill4MES2ES.AnythingGoes!
Phase One was about tracking The High Probability of Tradeable Setups that hit targets to-the-tick during the Q4 of Rollover Process...
I will have a recap for Phase One as well as an introduction for Phase Two by Lunar New Year on JAN 25th. In the mean time, just try to catch-up and post "whatever" as needed for AnythingGoes!

2020 JAN10 FRIDAY
8:30amET MlyNFP - 1st Monthly Report of the Year
Full Moon + Lunar Eclipse
OpEx 3120>3200<3275
2020's TIT[@3069.50-3263.50] 38%L3189 T3316 is in play with @3181 Low as High Probability "Hit & Run" Trade with "V spike-price-rejection" pattern (see Quick Summary Post for more info). Should aim for more than 100 points of 1DirectionalUp.Bias
There is still no evidence of Big Boys taking BIG Profits yet... all intraday targets have been reached in ON session... hedgeShort positions should be in place (at least haft of Long positions) awaiting for next extended intraday T3292-99 beside TIT.T3316... be aware of ticking time bomb, especially in RTH session for AnythingGoes!
If still no CIT by next Monday... then lookout... it's going to the Moon for the extended target(s) as shown in the attached preNFP & post NFP 480M projection charts!
P.S. Don't forget to read... Learn2Lose2WIN by "Learning to LOVE to take a LOSS" in the Quick Summary Post.
Updated after closing:
No wild-swing, only six points range for Monthly NFP... then selling slowly just to fill Gaps... a gap of today @3275.75 and yesterday @3260.25 where the clues were given in RTH with the nested patterns of duo buCypher and buButterfly.
[x] 5M [3252.00-3275.25] buCypher.ptC3281-3284 to ptD3259!
[?] 15M [3231.75-3267.75] buCypher.ptC3277-3283 to ptD3242
[?] 15M {3264.25-3283.75-3268.50}buButterfly.ptD3258
Will see if SUN reOpen with continuing selling to next ptD or not.
It's unusual CALM... make me think of "calm before the STORM"???

Target(s) hit without any reaction at EOD... and kept going up in ON trading... therefore, just monitor for continuation to keep it as roll.RunnerLong@3185 in mid-March.
Note:
Don't forget to hedgeShort at least half size by EOW in another sub-account... it's Topping Top but without confirmation, yet. Still so Bullish bias with increased "Open-Interested" Volume BUY during Monthly OpEX... before Holiday weekend for the Martin L. King Jr. Day, next Monday.

No major events
OpEx 3220>3325<3365
WOW, OpEx T3365 hit within 24 hours from SUN reOpen!
WEEKLY Chart for Projected Target(s) of Inverted H&S T1@3377 was within 2 points yesterday, but no cigar...
Going to the MOON with 1Runner left for Quarterly Rollover.
BTFD was there to lift it up again... Hmmm, the multiple setups were there as shown on chart. It's not IF but WHEN? T3400ish likely hit as long as @3300ish LIS is holding up.
Updates:
YAHOO! Limit order for hedgeS@3376.75 filled to-the-tick, WED morning.
No more buyers? Not until bears let go of 9:40amET RTH Hammer candlestick... until then tight up stopLoss for Intraday Long positions.
SHHHH!
By 6pmET reOpen, the musical-chair stopped? or the recipe "M" for Murder is being served?
Whatever it was... algoSELL is running during Asian and European sessions.
Therefore, monitor for a continuation of selling or NOT during NYSE session, especially @3337.50 prior High--see much better in 90M Chart.

OpEx T3420?
... from previous statement of WEEKLY Chart for Projected Target(s) of Inverted H&S T1@3377
... to revising statement for current tradePLAN as follows:
Quote from my first mentor: "The lack of safe investment alternatives will continue to bring new international buyers into the US market.
The dip buyers will continue showing up to slow any decline. At the same time, sellers will continue fighting for the index to make new highs — again."
It's up to us to place the necessary hedgeShort position(s) using safeStopLOSS as Risk Management that almost always giving 10 points in profit to fund the stop-loss.
Notice that chasing from the last two dips would have to be 20 points between the last candle low to the next candle as lower high.
It's up to OpEx Players to make their moves for T3420 today!
Nope, no BO of @3384.75 YH during RTH but BTFD buyers again at another Long setup near EOD.
