Technically had the day off work but up half the night and friend in crisis to deal with so did the best I could. Saw the play...and the targets but just didn't have the mental discipline to make it pay the way it could have.
Missed the sweet short below Bars 1-3 then a couple very small scalp losses before direction down was verified on Bars 14/15. Grabbed 6 and 7 on that.
Distracted so gave a little back on sideways Bars 16-30...given the mental mayhem going on did ok being patient and waiting for clarity which came on Bars 31-33. 6 and 4 there as I wanted to make up for small losses but missed the bigger move to actual target....:(
Had to leave and got back around Europe close to see strength...6 Bull bars. waited as best I could and grabbed a few more points but wasn't giving any room as there were many obstacles to overcome.
Missed the late day pop but by then 5300 was inevitable so added a few more into the close. Bad R;R but very high probability so went with that.
Two big reversal days, one on nice volume say the Bulls are still on the hunt. Weird rotation going on...no Sectors really seeing strength just individual names. New Highs vs lows popped up a bit which is good but...things are feeling pretty shaky out there. But isn't that exactly when the big dogs are gathering their positions?
Day off again tomorrow and hopefully less drama. Will do my best to see the game that's being played.
