Thanks deltason.

The dots were just an experiment. I dont even look at them now. You can probably see how they have changed from being a cluster to being single dots to lately being accompanied...

Not yet budfox. The number line is the hardest to program I have found. I am working on it but what I have so far works so the number line is a bit on the back burner. But it is a beautiful concept...

Execution error today

Read it correctly today but failed to execute properly. The read this AM was long. As price pulled back to euro OR high, it was confirmed. Got long at 92.18 and sat in it for 10 minutes watching the...

Failed A down long

Got the failed A down. So many things lined up that it was impossible to miss this one. Couldnt have setup better. I didnt want to push it so got out at the first logical target. I may not be done...

Halftime Combine Analysis

5 days gone and 5 more days to go in the new CL combine that started Monday. A little less than half way from the profit target. I know I have been sandbagging. Next week, I will push the pedal a bit...

A down all the way

Got a better read today in CL. I almost shorted 92.80 when we popped above the Euro OR high but couldn't figure out where my stop would be so let it go.

Once the OR formed, it was pretty clear...

I think I am sitting out the rest of the CL session. Had I taken the last trade, I would be sitting out and previously been burned taking trades after having missed the prime setup.

Meanwhile,...

Missed Failed A down

T4 needs to be improved. In order to trade from the DOM, a trader should be able to click on any price to get a long (or short) order sent to the market and the platform should decide whether it is a...

Difficult day today

CL has been difficult for me today. I attempted (prematurely) a failed A down long which didnt work and that is fine. I recognized it and got out without hesitation. No more CL trades until the OR is...

Theory and Execution

What good is a theory or analysis if not executed upon? Went long 93.82 from pullback to daily pivot . Exit 94.12. I would hold if I am trading more than 1 contract but cannot keep giving back...

Failed A down

Good read today. Failed A down was crisp and clear. I got out way too early but today was a day to hold all the way to ORH and probably higher. I have a theory that suggests 94.45-94.50 may be in the...

Choppy day today

3 trades today so far

1. Long from 94.14 thinking failed A down. Based on my back testing, the biggest hurdle of a failed A trade is either the daily pivot or the Euro OR if either one of them...

Importance of ADR

When the US session starts, I cannot tell if it would be a one way trading day like yesterday and today (so far) or it would be a rotational day. One of the things that can hint at a strong one way...

Textbook setup again. Failed A up from pullback to Euro ORL. Short from 95.29, exit 94.95. I am not worried about not holding for bigger targets. I was aware of the probability of the move continuing...

First day of Month

First couple of days in the month have statistically been volatile trend changers so today is not a surprise. I was in no mood to counter trade this by looking for a failed A. Instead on an A down...
