-14

Add 1 feature that not passed the live test -removed it back
Look for 2wave or 2nd break - more reliable

+4 ticks in Friday madness

Took 3 hours to get 4ticks as missed an early entry

+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

Lost opportunity

Distracted as I was teaching my son for his exam.
Next

Live - No trade

The chart is  like crocs.
The devil is in the details.
After reading the details...too risky. So c u next week Tuesday.

--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.

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.

See Saw...

Market want to go up..

Different condition called for different trigger tactic

but remain the same for general long term strategy
in SIM mode testing it.

Hello AGain....Dec Statement..

Low liquidity and no trades meaning cost is higher.

Cold CL

I found that CL behaves as cold as snow in December.
Like past years.. (refer to right side column - blue fonts).
I think its better to wait January...thats a long wait and probably my skills became rusted then..
Better find something better to do...

Opening 9am magic

Opening 9 am for CL trading seems has a magic of its own.
9am could be a starting point of a trend.
9am also could be a end point of a trend.
Its like a S R line.
eg. Monday 7 Dec -

No trade

Low price + December.

This  will be a difficult month to produce money.

+ve November Statement ..kipidap

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.

3 ticks - choppy

long wait to get 3 ticks..
next week

Choppy - no trade

Charting problem - No hunting today

-15tik, wrong read of previous ohlc

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.
