Alhamdulillah live trade +21

i read mkt correctly, so I has to follow the plan.
But I dont go to waiting area as show time will come sooner.
short entry 53.84  1 lot 1 trade
One of the best live trade as long as I remember.

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

3 TRADES > 9 TIKCS

Dancing with Wolves ..
I hd shorts in mind but mkt want to touch home

base  before short without me in

Paper profit 8t vanished after HFT kicked in @ 10.30

No problem, next weeks

Lost 5, gain 10, net 5 tikcs

Follow entry rule, breaXit rule +10

Its moving moving - but am stucked with no position

After this I will follow twitter feeds #crudeoil  to know background stories. Technical charts are ok but my brain seems need reasoning to follow through. Probably this is a key factor for me. Need to try.
In this case the news are Putin and Saudi Minister will try to improve price, and look at the rocket.

Follow plan but got 9am itchy reaction

it is best to avoid 9am nowdays..wait few minutes after or far before 9am
+ bad - further away from crossings

Wed EAI - post

Wed: trade after report

bad > Not wait to close,
bad> further from crossing
insidebar valid (2)
good > cut lose, POP rule

+7 on Wed

Long at breakout but then had big MAE nearing my stoploss. Stay in position because I sticked to my biggest rule (that been broken 2 times before this) . Turnout the breakout is faked as it failed to proceed quickly. This time i decided to follow POP rule and took in the fishes. Followed both tech and mental rule . So I deserved my reward 7t and close PC.
No trade tomorrow Thu - EIA

post trade - price down

MFE 20 tiks, then exit -ve 1tik

The Angel say take the profit 20tiks  but the Devil say can take all 40tiks.
Waiting price goes to previous day low proved backfired.
2 great lesson not found in the trading books  -
A)  price can wait  but time can'T.
B) a winner in trading can take half.
Next week pls.

+18 ticks, 1 trade

Market seems flat, then moving
Enter at sell mkt, exit at buy stop
Tried to hold longer but thats it.

25+ ticks, 1 trade

Early trade.
Lot of heat, I can sense sweat on my forehead.
And I began to doubt the position...market seem going nowhere and today is Friday..yikes
Even my dom frozen...oooh this is a bad omen...a black swan!
Quickly log in back, and saw in slow motion ...the market carry my short  to near previous close.
I close position ;+ 25t
Then market down another 7 ticks then bounce.
But enough.
I close my pc and getta out of here...woosh.

Nett -5 ticks , 3 lots

Fat finger clicked twice , so 2 lots at once in 1 st trade.
Again, ignoring the 1st signal that happen earlier than opening..
I should name that setup.....


as without name, my mind doesnt recognize it

3 ticks again, 1 trade.

Simple breakout was ignored as I was expecting a pullback that never happen.

Expecting pullback as market was slow prior to opening. This is an easy trade if it happen at opening.

Quite often CL made early move like this and I never took these "early" lessons  -countless times.

In case of breakout like this, next time I will use stop order entry, not market order as usual...

3ticks 1 trade

distraction at home, 1 trade only.

CL play squash

Testing the mind play squash..

no change to the setup , chart or physical thing.

just the mind...

today and friday.

c later next week
2 small arrows  was my prediction at open 9am

+5 (short)

PRE: Current mkt between hi lo  so expeting choppy market..
POSTl : Mkt quite trending during opening, turning long from SR (that not detected earlier).
Mkt then went lomg, and choppy after wards

pS. chart after close PC> more upwards..
therefore ..the assumption if higher than Phigh..trend higher..is truE after all..
I'm counter trade ...actually
imagine if no stop loss used.

New tactic tested : Double candle over (DCO)

Nothing like a real thing after 2 months vacation.

I trade like a noob...

I short before candle properly close and clicked 2 instead of 1.

Good thing I  flat out immediately without hesitation.

So next time...

1) Wait till candle close

1) Take out the finger after clicking it.
