Markets did slow down some later this morning, and lines/TLs are working now.

May 31, 2023: Two Trades

I had to take these two trades. It was a strong setup on
Both MNQ and MES. I am for sure done for the day.

Also, I think there a surprise about the Debt ceiling. Something smells with the way they are feeding the news about it. It may get delayed after all....

I have not posted recently since I stopped day trading since June 1st. BTW, the short on that post did very well.

I went to day trading as soon as lost my job, only to have a friend and a former boss that asked me to follow him. Yes, the job market in Dallas is still super strong ( so am sure much more rate hikes soon)
Since I have two boys in college and the job paid much better than the (average of) $300/day day trading, I took the “start immediately” position. So, for now, day trading will have to wait, again.....

I do have another method using S/R on the hourly chart, that I can use while keeping a full-time position. It does not trade as frequent, but I will post when I take these trades.

Trading Journal: Price Action & Volume - March 28, 2024

I am back trading. I am still working fulltime, but have flexibility to look at the markets in the mornings and some in the afternoon. No change in my charts/methods since last.
