Friend's birthday, she wants to go hiking, so that's it for me. I made a good week's pay shorting POT off the open. First trade I was waiting for price to get to the falling 20 EMA, but it stalled and I suddenly realized it was going for a test of the low, so I jumped in late. I lost focus and missed the failed breakout signal to reverse. Second trade, I used the 3-min chart for early entry on a counter-trend scalp, entered based on a 1-tick failure to retest the high. I actually had a 3-tick stop from my entry price, is that silly or what?? Anyhow, it worked. Took initial profit on the TL pivot, and final profit on the lower Keltner pivot (3-min chart). 5-min chart would've kept me in a bit more. The upside breakout was so strong I didn't think there was a good R:R in shorting again at the falling 20 EMA (10:45am bar). I'm going to stop posting my live trades unless it's a longer term play or a swing trade. I'm pretty ADD as it is and really need to stay focused. I had very good focus on my second trade. +$546 for the day. Knock 'em dead, guys!
I am with you. the morning low is not token out in the drop, so the session must point toward high and higher. ya, the real time posting will distract trading, totally agree.
