ES Journal - 2019/2020

looks like some took 2x their risk as a target

 

i do not have any calculation based into risk reward, a bad trait that i suffer from. Also moving stops to break even and exiting trade at price consolidation rather than profit target are some that i suffer from. Have missed out a lot of trend trades due to that but it has kept me in green most times. Also my stops and targets are based on levels i feel are probabilities in terms of price getting into a range. But what can a poor trader do when he has to make tight stops.

 

a BO from a CH often needs a BO PB with a HL or LL
like that (if it works at all)

 

scalping I'd do the same

 

poor or not poor, making money is all that counts

 

yes scalping is good for me at this time. usually reserve trend rides for weekdays and between 10-12:30.

 

what time frame are you using.

 

another momo play for long is coming up. could be a breakout to upside this time.
have to find best entry so my 1.25 stop wont be taken out.

 

This market is making me very nervous. I am now outright hedged in SPY.
