4/12/19 post review On the open which was a gap up I was looking for a buy I thought i bought near a support area but there was more selling in the book. from the we had a run only to stall and drop we couldn't close the gap and ended the day in the IB. I think we are setting up for a nice short squeeze. We have several days like this this week $ES was stalled for a while $NQ looked a bit more bullish at the weeks summary 4/8-4/12/19 week loss -41.64 i had 1 profitable day and that was a trade i closed early that would have went to my target after hours with would have netting a profitable week. But all in all with the action and my trading style of going to out sized winners it was a good week. overall we are up on a slow grind

4/15/19 post review losing day most the day i was driving for work so i missed the prime time to trade so i took trade 3:30 toward the close. the first trade was an error when switching to my account i mistakenly bought the swing high at the time. From there.... I think i might started calling it a day when software/human errors occur. $ES_F $ES $NQ_F $NQ
