Today had one decent pullback that would've traded per my system but I didn't like the long shadow candle a few bars prior so i skipped out on this trade. It would've been a winner thought.
This wasn't a great looking pullback to trigger a trade by any means. Should've avoided it due to being so far below the lower MA. The second one I have circled I missed but it was a great pullback. I've decided to try to automate to a degree my trade entries. So the arrows you see in the charts are setups that could qualify. I won't be 100% strict with taking them or maybe even taking ones that don't meet the requirements but it should help me spot them quicker.
I missed the best pullback of the day, the first one circled because I was busy. Wasn't happy about it but I setup alerts now so hopefully i'll miss less trades. The next two both could've been profitable, the 2nd one i lost on cause I went for too big of a profit target, the 3rd I made back most of the money I lost. Overall not a horrible trading day but if i had made the first trade I would've been in good shape.
Avoided the oil report today. However got one pullback before the oil report which hit my stop and then proceeded to turn around and go for a decent profit. The second pullback I have circled could've been a legitimate pullback entry however I didn't like the look of it. Mostly I didn't like how many bars it took from the low so I skipped it which was for the best because I would've been stopped out again.
