Live - no trade

Price trapped at the bottom pit...and shrinking volume.
Off pc.

ps..after session: price narrowing for another 1 hour after pc close and then moving south again.

No trade

Low price + December.

This  will be a difficult month to produce money.

-15tik, wrong read of previous ohlc

+11 t, 2trades

the actual 1st chance to short missed as I used limit order.
the 1st trade has mae -7 before +6 ,and 2nd trade mae -9 before +5.
my mental eneergy drained by mae, close pc then watch tv.

+2 ticks

tricky.
I think market has jetlag caused by DST changes. Every year like this

3ticks 1 trade

distraction at home, 1 trade only.

No trade - Bigger time frame readjust to 1 hour

Before this > 4 hr
Readjust > 1 hr ..standard time frame.

+ 5 hit and run from p.low

post edit : mkt then turned to long...

+7 in 2 trades

choppy market..
use Muhammad Ali tactic  - dance like butterfly and sting like a bee.
nothing fancy, just using hammer candle.

Flat set up only for 9am

1st win, 2nd lose (flat setup)....as the liquidity is low before that.
2max trades before 9

my other chart in its full glory...
oh well, I dunno why I kept chosen the difficult path .
 may be i'm afraid of success ;(

Peanuts 2

1st win, 2nd trade lose. Net win peanuts

Lesson:
Confused on DSTime that affect volume and need to pay attention to HI HI LO LO level during 2nd trade.
Lines need to be drawn.

Scored point:
Exit when market didn't move as expected.

Max #trade so didn't take 3rd trade in chart ..Hmm...

Long ; +small plus

Exit: as price stalled at SR lines, exit position as market not moved fast as expected - then price move up again..close pc to avoid emotional decision. :) But you may called it 'no guts' :)
Entry: Put stop order at below market price as I thought market was not strong

Monday blues

Traders decided based on last weekends SR, therefore the price action quite tricky. On my part, my job was looking for a perfect pattern and that pattern nearly completed when I realized one "average " requirement not matched, so I halted.

My decision was correct as the market suddenly switched down and trapped other big candle traders . I took my breath and closed the PC. Moving average need to be respected which nearly 90% traders use it.

My trigger is the ? mark

I saw  my set up...The question pop up..Is this the one ? No answer from my brain..
The market follow my plan.

Then I saw a nice line near 9am...Again that question pop up.Is this the one ? No answer from my brain.
The market drop according my plan.

Then no more question pop up...and no more signal...

Of course I knew that CL will run amok today as both my son AND wife besides me in front of the PC - as I were preparing my 8 y.o. son for his end of year exam. But this should not the excuse as I acknowledged it already. I have to accept the fact that I need to execute the plan when the moment come even though I could be distracted by anything....

I knew the ? mark came as my brain acted as a safety regulator for my best interest. I had a clear cut plan in my mind.. But when the moment came, the brain not giving a "go" nod, instead it give out a "? " mark.

From this experience I also printed a checklist to execute...May be my Visual brain need that assurance when it pop up a ? mark when moment of the lowest risk for entry come . A top-rated hospital staff once told me that they marked several checklist to ensure they do the right thing even though they knew it already, just to be on the safety side...i.e don't cut the wrong eye, or cut the wrong leg.

I realized that the highest risk is not to take action according to plan.On the other hand, to be fair, I will give chance myself some initial errors in executing the plan

Choppy then late trending
