Moved my stop on one ZN contract to BE+1. Will see how this works out based on that will add back that contract

I have this uncanny ability to miss these kind of moves... Can't help it. Original plan was to take one one contract at 125'10 and keep the other.

I believe this triangle is going to be key with 46.20 as key level.

Oh boy that 46.20 is one tough nut to crack, ideally I would like to see price to close below that for my short to work for more gains.

Still holding ZN long and TZA short (might try to enter RTY short). I will be very comfortable if ZN closes above 5SMA on daily basis. Nothing changed on RTY weekly chart but it is taking more time than I expected.




Very close to being wrong on this but recently I learned that your entry should be very near to where you will be wrong so going to keep this short on TF and see if I can get out without much damage.

That Oil short close was better, I didn't trade oil as I generally don't trade on oil on report days. On the other hand I still have my mini Russell (TF) short underwater, tested 5SMA yesterday and bounced back, I am getting torn between swing and day trading. One thing I want to do is formulate a BIGGER PICTURE and trade in that direction multiple times. I am doing good job of formulating BIGGER PICTURE but not able to trade (I mean add or remove contracts) in that direction multiple times as I am still not ready to increase size.

These are few swing trades I missed

1. I was in NQ long at 5585 now it's 300 points up, I closed it for 20 points
2. I was again in ES long but closed for 12 points
3. I was in ZN long closed again for small profit when compared to where it is now
4. I was in VIX future trade before that drop but again closed for small profit
5. I am in this TF short, gave multiple opportunities to close for nice profits but didn't took it because I missed the above trades and don't want to miss

I want to say short oil but when I want to short I want to do it VAH but oil is at VAL but still looking like a short to me. Will see if I can get a chance to short at VPOC or VWAP.
