2 chances(31 May)

1st at before opening, missed it as am out station - thinking it will be like a regular Wednesday EIA. Forgot that holiday had freshen up traders.
2nd.. signal happen near ema but  have doubt of it caused of lack of "market structure"... then it gone before I have time to think further.
IMHO, market structure strategy HH LL has little value in CL and today action pointed it again.

-7 ticks in 1 trade (30 May)

violated the ema rule caused by boringness in market

+ 6 t

I follow my 1st rule - follow the ema.
Tough to follow, but at least i have no loss and got xtra profit.

1st rule - follow ema done.
2nd rule - target close at OHLC line.

-10 ticks even though direction was correct

Tight stop and need to use extra 2 ticks.
Short direction was correct but proved too soon with tight stops.
However the 10 ticks lesson was not lost.
Now I knew the timing of using it and type of chart that superior for me - OHLC bars
ps. Again,: I need to follow that EMA

+4 ticks -- lazy day

No trade - doji & line..then + 5tick

played tic tac with mkt +5tikcs -- testing doji at line (samewith the left)..then close pc

CL entering new high -- -8ticks

Again, profit on paper 6 tick then vanished ended with -8 ticks.
As market made new high -- it want to go high yet I'm trying pullbacks.
Easier to make money in CL following the trend, most of the time.
You better not trying to be a hero with CL.
So dont ignore that damn ema line for CL.

-7 tikcs

1st trade cutloss was too tight, now adjusted...loss 7tikcs..then came 2nd setup I 'm guessing the validty even itis a totally diff setup and also the 3rd setup. Obvious that I'm shaken after 1st trade , also the body is not that fit today -0 can affect the mind..Next...

(POST TRADE ANALYSIS- DIVERGENCE SET UP IS NOT THE KEY, THE KEY IS THE MAROBOZU ENGULFING CANDLE)

post trade chart below - the whole truth that totally invisble before, too late after the fact...

2 trades = 16 ticks

post trade chart - seemed I lost opportunity in 2nd trade..
from now on I use candle and bar - bar chart for closing price, candle easier pattern spot.
I closed pc as I feel the market sluggish..- I'm correct before close pc but wrong after it - the market move fast..quite frequent this happened to me...I saw the cloud but cant see the silVer - a moment gone forever.

+6

Erratic day due to early move

-7

Breakdown of horizontal line...positive 12 tick before quickly reversed minus 7 ticks.
Possibly still moved by news like yesterday
Just not my day..next week

No trade -- news driven CL

One of the most difficult trading session for me as news Of Canadian fire driven the market.
Seems market digesting the news several ways of ups & downs.
Technicals are not clear cut for news driven - like EIA report.

No trade, last minute +6

Market making move while I'm barely has 1 minute arrived to read properly - missed entry short
Had to wait nearly 4 hrs to get 6ticks. Alhamdulillah

+ 11

 outsidebar doji

No trade

+6 right direction, not holding

next..target,,,to the line Sr

post trade chart

May or may not trade within this week

as wife warded in hospital for fisio exercise for spondylitis below neck.

Practsing right direction +6

I left the other ticks as I donna want to risk my mini account.
I will collect  it up later..

DOM Live but Chart in SIM

I trade thru chart but no order recorded in DOM..
I called broker in panic .....
1st 2 call cant reach them becaouse no double 00 infront of code 1 +  xxxxxxxxxx
they said no record of live trade..sigh..
Then I checked that my chart is in internal SIM mode...
My real profit of 6 ticks is gone..
LUCK...where are u ?

Slowly

If I wait for another 10 min..a setup is ready and money will come...

If ..If ...If ...sigh :)
It must past 10:30am NY or 11:  before closing..

And my broker told me the reason that my chart freeze is that I use a dinosaur computer - XP,  2 core..
After I win USD 2000, I will change that to Window 10 and Quad core, and to prove that I follow trend ..I will use Solid State hard disk..haha

2 live trades ( 1 lose then 1 win) that resulted in 0 profit/loss nett++

But my broker win the comm...
A good live trade anyway --I know when  to knock CL next time..haha

market Structure gone

1st trade +1 t
2nd trade -7 t - right direction but stop too tight - however I maintained the stop.
Market crazy today -- too "high" on opium I supposed.
To do : maintain 5 min for 1st hour opening.
Next Thu.

post trade

5min, Outsidebar, 2 min

Inner Coach

No luck

Chart Frozen for 3 days - come and go

Trading is hard enough.
Even superman cant trade thru frozen chart
Contacted broker and chart provider - still there
Googling for public records years ago looking for solution.
Year 2013 somebody said that - UNtick hibernation on computer.
Hope it works.

market flat range

Lowest price in weeks...
CL looking for strength for climbing later..

type A +7 of 40
