Hello everyone, this is my first journal.
My goal and hope is this gonna help me staying disciplined and consistent.
I have been trading futures options and spreads during the last three years doing quite nicely, and now I am going to start swing trading in order to diversify and hopefully make more profits. Here are, basically, the three main strategies and the markets I am going to use:
1) H1 chart swing: markets: 6E, 6B, NQ, CL, GC, DAX. I am using volume profile (both daily and composite) consideration combined with divergences with RSI 7 and basic price action.
2) Volume compressions: every morning before the market opens I search for markets (main commodities, indices and currencies) that are under compression, with small value areas and ideally with two or more days where value area coincide; I am trying to trade the breakout here
3) COT swing trading: every friday when the cot report is released I update a sheet tracking the momentum of big players for the main markets. I am trading h4/daily chart with volume profile and price action only in the direction the cot report shows me.
I will post charts of the trades I make so to clarify things. I will try and do my best in order to keep this journal up to date, forgive me if for family constraints I will sometimes post trades a bit late
