Pre market plan
Comment: Yday was good sell off day on Crude Oil and today I will be trade and look how my strategy "GAP and GO" work after sell off days.
Trade idea:
CL: "GAP and GO". Sell in 56,80-57,00 area. LIS 57,00 Market recap
Daily comment: That was perfect day, but not perfect for trading. Because I`m trade in Real time mode. I` m try to trade OrderFlow pattern! Yes I saw this picture first time when price go down on positive delta and I try to find pull back+ two days "Sell off" it probability <10% in statistic. Any way this is good lesson! Trade idea--->Price area---->Delta pattern
My wrong trades:
Trading result:
Description: Trade your plan! No more no less.
Pre market plan
Comment: Yday was good sell off day on CL and YM. Also good situation for long GC today. But today FOMC minutes and Crude Oil Inventories.
Only one idea fro today it GC
GC: "Close VWAP" strategy. Buy around 1470-1472. LIS area it 1470.
Market recap
Daily comment: Today my idea to buy GC was wrong. Because my home work was not good enough!! My strategy "Close VWAP" active only when we see same good and strong buyers or sellers power. Yday GC was not looks like strong buyers power.
Chart:
Description:
1. This is not important rule BUT it like additional (+). Session low higher then O/N low. With this rule was every thin good!
2. Here is main WRONG Session high was lower then O/N high!
3. Price close above O/N high that is also WRONG!
Ideal situation for strategy "Close VWAP" that is "Higher high-higher low"!
Trading statistic:
Trading stat will be later. But my PnL: -90$
Pre market plan
Comment: Today I will be test my "Close GAP" strategy on CL.
CL: "Close GAP" strategy. Sell around 57,90-58,0. LIS 58,0.
Market recap
Daily comment: That was dangerous day. I`m trade my new strategy and that was not good feedback. I must work about the rules for this strategy!
Pre market plan
Comment: Yday was next strong day on CL. Today probably if price go higher without test average price around 5%. I will be bet on 95%.
CL: "Close VWAP" strategy. Sell around yday high. LIS yday high.
Market recap
Daily comment: I`m finish today very fast))) I made my one good trade and way out from market. Good.
Market recap from Monday
Daily comment: Today was very good day for index`s. Q show strong power after open. GC what I trade was 50/50 and go down without any strong sellers. I made two trades and one trade was wrong.
My trades:
Description: I was not enough time for trade and I must go to childhood for my son. Im seat and look real time opportunities on GC! Wrong! First trade was real time trade without good momentum and without any plan! WRONG! Im always must follow my rules!
Pre market plan
Comment: Today I will be trade NQ for LONG side. But I don`t know exactly what will be on market first 10 minutes. That means I prepare two scenario.
Market recap
Daily comment: This day of "missing good trade") NQ give me chance take long on both my scenario. But around 8370 area I`m wait for kick down O/N low. On next step I`m wait price little bit lower then 8380 for place good stop. In this case I was absolutely correct, my trade must be contain correct stop position. I made one real time scalp on YM.
Trade result:
Pre market plan
Comment: Yday I has good idea to buy NQ, my scenario was good, but I`m missing this trade. NO PROBLEM! Today I have also idea for buy NQ with "GAP and GO" strategy.
Trade idea:
NQ:"GAP and GO". Buy 8400-8410 area. LIS 8400
Market recap
Daily comment: Next day when NQ don`t give me chance to enter with correct place for stop. Today I`m made 3 trades and two of them "Real time" on GC. NOT GOOD! One trade was on YM, that was good trade becouse I`m understand what on strong bull market Dow without any strong news can`t be in "sell off" mode.
Today holiday! This is good time to think about your job on this field and to do work on the mistakes.
How I can be better:
Comment: Yday was good example when I do three trades with "Real time" strategy. One of them was good, but two was wrong!
I look my statistic for the last month, what I have:
I made 30% of ALL my trades by "Real time" mode. That is not good! That means this is trades was not in my trading plan! But I must be flexible on the market! It means for me what I must prepare few rules for trades in "Real time" mode.
STOP rules:
- I can`t trade CL if for ex. in my trading plan only GC.
- I can`t trade reverse idea on instrument what I chose for trade.(Ex. trade LONG if In my plan was SHORT). If the instrument goes the other way then I expected, I must be out of market!
GO rules:
- If in my plan Index`s (ex. NQ), I can trade YM or ES. Because this is one market, they are have high correlation index.
(Like yday I don`t see momentum for Long on NQ, BUT I see good momentum in same direction from my plan in YM.
