Getting back in the groove..tore it up though. 17 turns...557.60 NET ------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 turns.....634.30 net. Feeling good....felt the swing....both PC`s up and running..one more day til I take it live. And ironically I have breached the 40k number I was looking to gain prior to doing just that. USD$$$$$$$.......................nothing additional to say about the UUP. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1 - Game on Well, this trade was just too fine to pass up using a sim. A nice convergence of trendlines. Prior support turned resistance coupled with a 50% pullback after the post report selloff had me watering at the mouth for a short entry. Once price hit the underside of the overhead R it did breach...but came back on two fat tails in a row...I got short on the first long bear tail Sld 1 @ 1392..stop was set at 2 ticks above that down trendline and tgt was initially set at 1382. But after the breakdown from consolidation I felt it made sense to cover on a long bar. ES did eventually get to my target....pisser. Done for the day...1 turn +432.80 net ------------------------------------------------------------------
Day-2 Up 400, down 400..all day long 3 times. Finished down $4.80NET 9 turn chop fest. Bot support..sld res...etc Just never got any traction --------------------------------------------------------------
1 - confluence of trendlines post numbers for a short signal..upon entry on a stop I added another sell stop for one more below a tiny consolidation pattern. Both triggered. 2 - coverd 1 on a long candle....coverd 2nd lot after breaching down trendline to the upside. 3 - went long 1 upon breaching second down trendline. 4 - sld 1 after todays px tapped underside of yesterdays low. Done for day...not trading tomorrow cause of Fed meeting. 3 turns...335.90 net I dont really have any goals outside of trying not to do anything stupid. Been there, done that.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was super late to the party today. Didnt trade until 1 pm...still fkng with a new pc to get it right. Anyhow..chopped around. And was literally flat until my last trade....got short upon a trendline break(1)...then the buyers came in hard(2). I do not intentionally look for counter trend trades...I just take what my levels give me. Most of the time they work...sometimes they dont. Today they did not. Those buy/sell arrows on the chart are all fecked up...they are off by a bar or two.. Kept losers small..unfortunatly winners never had a chance to make up for them. 9 turns.. -$192.30 net ---------------------------------------------------------
