Today's final results:

+270 which makes day 4 in a row of being green. Loving the consistency and account growth but still not taking all of the set ups. Growth would be much better if I did.



here is this months calendar:




Friday's plan: Trade the 50 tick chart early in the morning only taking premium entries. Once the first trade is on, switch to the 200 tick chart to manage. As the day goes on stay on the 200 for entries and manage on the 1000 tick. Looking to stay in trades longer but still get really good entries.

Haha, liking that 50 tick eh? Checkout the tick data with Heikin Ashi candlesticks it smooths it out compared to regular candlesticks.

I really like it early in the morning. As the day goes on and volume increases it just moves too fast for this old fart.

I will give the Heikin Ashi a look this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

There were two trade opportunities I did NOT take this morning. I decided not to because of how price was moving. Very sporadic where you would have several "normal" candles then a spurt of 8-10 instantaneously then back to quiet.

Here is a 5 minute volumetric candle that shows the huge imbalance between buyers and sellers about 530 a.m. eastern:



Left column is bid and right is ask. It was also a huge (relative to a 5 minute chart) spike in volume that went completely away the next candle.

Will wait for U.S. session to make any trades.
