20250919 recap


Tried responsive long at ibl
Would have been better to wait that they test the prior days belly low
Or to not trade at all at big expiry day

There is much potential for anger when you trade on days on which you are not sure if you should trade at all. In future i will not open the platform on these days,

20250922 recap



As we entered the spike without resistance i took the first two scalps
Later in the move it usually washes out and gets unclean and is not a good trade location anymore

A break would be nice to balance inventory a bit

Smaller scalps here and there
Good self confidence in the end when the market had no follow through and was short in the hole

My main idea was to go for the previous day low which was poor and weak
We went a good way further but did not follow through in the evening

20250925 recap


looked like gap and go so i shorted a pullback, failed
looked like dip buying so i bought it, worked but did not follow through
made a nice flat conso of the up-move but still did not follow through

we had a long time with controversial mgi:
intraday behaviour was up
but we were not able to fill the gap

So i shorted for a potential rollover, worked fine

at ibl we had strong support so i ended the day with long trades

In the end we have
-value clean lower
-not able to fill the gap
-but no follow though to the downside

On some days it feels like it has to go either up or down
but it simply stays in the area
(which is monthly vwap and poc)

ended with +16 points, could have easily be a larger loss day
