Today I was able to do FOUR SIM trades, until I get rid of my Trade #3 issue, I have to be careful.

Trade 1 - Winner



Trade 2 - LOSS



Trade 3 - BIG LOSSER to BIG WINNER, In my defense I would have closed it early but had lot of issue with mouse etc. this type of trading is clearly an issue for me. I wanted to capture this on video and I am glad I got it.



Trade 4 - Winner



Hope that I will learn something from these videos

I changed to private, thinking accidentally recorded my regular browsing:-), but looks like I am fine and changed it public.

Was able to trade for real this week, slowly getting back...




Today, I was trailing nice and with one sudden drop market took half of my profits. But no regrets, If I can re-create this consistently then its all worth.

These are my levels I am watching today...idea is to keep it very simple

1. Plot supply & demand levels using previous DAY and ON along with Y_Low, Y_High and Y_Close - Solid BLACK & WHITE
2. Watch how price behaves at these levels
3. Execute at PULLBACKS using order flow - THIS IS GREAY AREA - This is where my mind falters

NOTE: Levels DOESN'T matter when OTF enters the market, but DOM, LIQUIDITY and ORDER FLOW gives us clue
