wrong place at wrong time..not using POP rule 1

and I have flu.. perfect
my overall direction was correct but the timing all wrong..
decided to use dummy tactic as below and
 sim in next session to test it out

-13 + 5 : nett --8 tikc

Not following rules..well damn hard to follow it.
All trades this past 3 week were LIVE trades

- 11 t & ++ 8 t = nett -- 3 tkcs

including comm so lost like 5 t in range mkt.
1st trade dont follow rule - damn forgot to look at it. So now I hang it over the screens.
2nd trade - follow the rule but not holding it to get more.as became nervous.

--14 ticks

Ohh yeah...back to bottom lines

--11 ticks

Took a weak signal in the compression zone, and my position is compressed -11 ticks.
Plenty of better places later but already close pc.
Its all in the mind.
Hunting mind to be developed, not foot soldiers.

1 dec trade : -15 ticks

Mistakes: Too much emphasis given to big frame chart.
Big and small frame must agree :: to be reliable.
Its already in the rules but trading mind no warming up.

-15tik, wrong read of previous ohlc

Failed setup as OHLC was more dominant

As the setup failed, my stop loss took control of things - stopping a much heavier bleed.
However, market then 'follow my direction' later...but dont count on it.

post trade- review

Right thing done:
NIHL identified succesfully this time

Repeat:
1) 3 workers -LazyBozz, PassingtheBuckManager and the actual worker :)
2) 1 Big and 1 small opponent
3) Hammer and nail
4) NIHL
5) Cross MA in min chart - no need to pullback confirmation
6) Pullback one AFTER Cross MA in min chart , esp wit NIHL
7) Volume peak
8) No MA for TICK, use parallel line only

Rusty move

Hammer and wedge can kill the Dracula

Again , I'm exactly at the other side of the fence on the dotted line...
may be I need to write a post-it note...

Are you Sure Up ? Do you use stop order?

When using limit order, my emotion controlling my mind

 I short the market even though there many signals to long : the ema, the line , the indicator, the hammer, the pivot. My emotion win - my brain lose.Stop loss -90 save me nearly 500 .

I dont need ABC pattern at the moment.

But I need 2 BIG RED PILLS

-110

End of month with 1 loss trade. Evidently I'm not prepared yet for longer time frame...Longer time will bring bigger opportunity as well as bigger RISK ..hehe.

Back to scalping mode. After 4th of July, I'm ready to be an independent scalping trader, if by chance I got a 1000 usd home run, it is not because I'm a fantastic trader but it is a bonus from market..Ok I will modified my profile as a part-time scalper trader.. I will take care of my ass so my body will take care by itself (new proverb from me) .

selfNote : R - extreme &  continuation , 5min SR 

-80

3 trades (yeah more than 1 and max 2) :

1) -10 . fast cut a loser trade . Good.
2) -120 . Late entry and not according to my rules. Chasing market .High Risk and paid it. Bad.

3) +50 . Follow my rule, but market is out of strength already. Quite OK.

Past 2 days CL had spike trade but I not wish to comment about the market, I wanna to comment about myself.

Evidently I was not "afraid to trade" anymore....now I will focus to follow my entry rules and maintained trade management :  the fast cut....

Other then that I found that I need to keep in mind that each day I have 2 trades, not one. If  I just keep targeting 1 trade, it will put pressure to my emotion and it is definitely worse than trading 1 contract . Trade A will act as breaking the ice of the day, and Trade B is the real trade of the day. Both will enter early as soon the signals are valid.

Done:
Low stress trading.

To be done:
To enter early when signal comes.

-140

Emo is ok, exactly on the line, but at the wrong side. Next time

1) need to look at the alpha timeframe
2) need to look at the ema colors and context of these lines. I'll put only 2 ema as 3 ema were too busy for me
3) I waited the stop loss to kick me out, but actually I realized i was wrong much earlier..so dont wait for the auto stop loss.

-120

Failed Short.  Same set up as yesterday, but not so clear cut . Yesterday high acted as magnet pulled up the price

-90

1 play...missed 1st grade move...1st grade usually comes with trigger.....
then enter long based on main chart when tick chart  showed divergence short
divergence is a 2nd grade move but this time was correct.
auto cut loss. CL had rough movement due to Libya's turmoil
