I glad to participate in the community of the best traders. And having chance to look how the Market Wizards have grown into consistent profitable traders starting from Beginners i decided that a Journal really helps to develop as a proffesional trader.
For the time being it is a SIM account.
So i am in.
Thank you all.

Here is my trading plan
I understand that trading different methods at the same time is a bit difficult, but i will see what suits me better.
Focus on CL:
1. CL 2 min bar chart - looking for low volume bars on pullback in a trend direction.
Setup 2 lots on breakout that bar in direction of tend. Stop - behind opposite side of range. The first target +10, second - runner.
2. CL 2 min bar chart - looking for divergency of cumulative delta.
3. CL footprint chart - looking for levels with huge bid/ask delta - take a setup on breakout the level.
4. CL 800 tick chart - The VinceVirgil method.
I will look on:
1. 6E using cumulative delta end volume.
2. GC trying to catch stop hunters breackout - The xelaar method.
On my chart - MP, GomCD, GomMOM, BetterVolume, Volume leader.
1. I switched on my computer and while i was watching webinar the first divergency on CL formed. I took second one.(2 lots +9;+10)
2. The divergency on 6E (2 lots +3)
3. The Break of overnight high + huge bid/ask delta on CL 92,84 - after correction i was looking for good exit without loss and was filed +5 and stoped +1. Then price rised to day goal and higher.
sum total - 295$
Early started and to the market open i was a bit tired
Some paper trades on begining the day to become more brave and go.
1. CL long 2 lots 93.32 @VinceVirgil method (closed +2 because of news pending)
2. CL long 2 lots continuing the first setup low volume brekout (+10 +20)
3. CL short 1 lot 93.43 late enter by Divergency momentum of cumulative delta (closed +2)
4. CL long 2 lots 93.52 cumulative delta divergence (+10 +15)
5. CL long 1 lot 93.63 (Stopped - 10 both)
6. CL long 1 lot 93.67 tried to beat the market for the stop (psychology) jumped out +1
7. CL long 1 lot 93.61 @VinceVirgil method (jumped out +5 - i have seen the reversal signall)
8. 6E long 2 lots 1.3547 cumulative delta divergence (jumped out +5 both - slow market)
9. CL long 2 lots 93.88 day high breakout - i have not place limit orders and stops in time but i knew that the high will been retested but for my stupid mistake i decided not to take profit from this trade so jumped out -0
I had some family activities tooday so traded from home time to time turning to PC.
Was strong boollish trend on CL and i mostly traded break of day high.
One stupid mistake on 6E - stop loss 400$
The mistake that i do not want to repeat - trading after 11.00
Traded only CL
1. Short 2 lots Break of the range (+5 trailing stop)
2. Long 1 lot Tried to trade swing (TP +50 SL -50) - huge drawdown -35 Added on day high break 97.77 then understood that it is a mistake and closed a position at 97.80 (+30 +3)
3. Long 1 lot - Impulsive trade 97.88 stopped at 97.89 (+1)
As for me - CL was range today
Two trades on CL:
1. Long 2 lots 97.41 Level break TP +10 and SL +2
2. Long 1 lot 97.60 Cum delta divergence it was time stopped at +6
One trade on 6E:
1. Long 1 lot 1.3672 did not following my plan. was stopped at -3
Then cum delta divergency formed and price went in my direction without me.
Poor discipline and hypertrademanagement.
sum total - 135$
Next week i will increase the lot amount to 3 lots for tades with good, strong signals and 2 lots for trades with poor signals.
09.12-10.12 did not trade. My brain could not pay adequate attention to market because of the Ukrainian revolution.
Tooday's trades i will post a bit later.
