It was a tough day for you. Watching you reminds me of me. You trade very similarly to a mix of my wife and I. She hesitates and waits and then gets knocked out. I tend to overtrade always trying to get that pivot and focused on the smaller time frames.
You are evolving and I can see your comfort with the platform already being much better. Your eyes are not glued to a DOM that is moving up/down! haha...
After a few gifts today I recognized I was a member of the herd. Mooo. Then I saw a big double bottom coming up at 9:51 Central Time. The earlier pivot was at 9:25. I stood in front of the freight train and placed a long. Choo choo! The train stopped and reversed in time for a 2.2 point gain. I guess I left the herd.
That 610 bulge at 8:40 Central Time was sweet. Price hit double top one bar after the 610 turned down. Please see attachment. What do I need...a engraved invitation?!?
I noted news at 9 AM CT and then forgot about it as usual. I've got an egg timer I'll use. Turns out that was fortunate as I went long just before the market jumped up on the news.
Happy with a winning day. Finally. Thanks for your support and encouragement, guys!
Yes, I saw that first thing and decided I wasn't going to trade around news at all as when there is that many news items it tends to act funny 10 minutes prior and then kaboom.
One thing to note is that you didn't get filled on some good entries, but the bad one's you did. Are you switching from buy/bid, sell/ask to market? I think with 9 ticks you could easily to that. Another way is to buy/ask and sell/bid as that will normally get you filled.
Good job today. It wasn't an easy day for me. These last couple weeks have been rough.
