d1 rth long term



1) We are up high without a larger pullback

2) There is no change to status quo (balance) until we see at least acceptance above or below the white lines

20260204 recap nq



Same "mistake"
Anticipated Covering
That makes no sense in a slippy fast market
Better wait for impact punch and scalp pullback


Short were not easy as the amplitude was bigger
(msft and aapl were up)

As tech was down and ES was mixed i traded shorts in NQ and the late Covering in ES

20250206 eth recap


nice covering today in eth

in certain circumstances eth is easier to trade than rth
but in calm markets often there is nothing to do

20260206 pre market



News
amzn 9% down after earnings
10:00 numbers

Condition 1
We see a tech sell off
and a broad market that slowly follows

Condition 0
Asia looked below and EU covered
We open in upper third of y range

Thoughts
After three days down there is potential for more covering
Of course also sellers can get agressive again
We will see

20260206 recap



Took an offensive entry with full size for more covering which worked fine
Ended the day early as
- going for more than the first covering move is not my favourite
- a clear change to the downside would be below the open which would already be late in the move for a short
