Update: Broke thru by 1 tick and broke down - I would have exited the trade at 297.4 to avoid giving any more money back.



It just hasn't been my day - Missing the good setups! Oh well, that is trading sometimes!

Price did reach the 1:4 target but I would not have ridden it out to reach. I elected not to enter the trade with a delayed entry even though it would have worked out. Content at the moment!

First plan this morning was to enter 88 or lower on M2K and ride it to at least 2200.5 the first target of several. Price only came back to about 91 and has already gone to my first target so bummed.

Next plan was to buy long in the 80 area on deep pullback - Price came back to my first area and held. I scalped a couple trades with multiple contracts and am up about 140 ticks. Will try and post later but focusing in on charts now.

Been SOH since those earlier scalps. Today is just one big inside bar day - We haven't been able to test yesterday's prior HOD or LOD:

After waiting my first trade entry didn't fill (missed by 6 ticks) - No waiting again

Very late start today but am up 86 ticks so far. I am expecting a bullish close today and wanted to be here early to buy and let it run but that plan didn't work out. So back to scalping. Here is my current chart view:

Missed this trade while moving the car for Willis, my wife's brother who is staying with us - This is a textbook trade imo - X2 with the trend trade:
