el bastardo NQ

Discussion in 'Journals' started by theapprentice, Jan 20, 2015.

  1. I'm the apprentice, trying to learn to trade after reading lots of threads here and on other forums
    Trying to get my own method down using a mix of support/resistance/trendlines/patterns/price action etcetc

    trying this with the NQ. Today is day 2. Luckily caught a 'runner' on the down move making it a good day.
    I will update on days when I have traded.
    Yesterdays chart to follow in the next post.

    Here's todays chart

  6. so, the first trade was a short taken on the break of teh demand line and general support area (as I saw it)
    The second trade was a short on the retest of the same 'break' as I thought I saw sellers taking control again on the tick chart I was watching. That trade was soon stopped out!
     
  7. LONG 4196.5 -stop is at 4193
     
  8. STOPPED -3.5

    today=+1.25
    yesterday=+2.75
    Monday=+24
     
  9. such volatility, ended up trying my luck some more. Bad discipline!
    Better result in the end, though.
    Day now stands at +12 points, and that's definitely it for the day, now
