    Ok, this is from one of my favorite death metal records from the last few years:

    And here's some excellent stuff from the early 2000's, way ahead of its time:

    Its such a wide genre, I could send you tons of unique stuff, these are just 2 that popped into my head first.

    Tomorow morning I will be looking to see if prices were able to drift down any further overnight. If price is still hanging around the 4300 area, I will be pretty cautious after the open because I think fomo buyers/chasers from today are vulnerable to getting bled out tomorrow in chop. If we work significantly lower overnight, that will be more enticing after the open.

    Fought with RTY a little bit, trying to get short

    Shifted over to MNQ and was able to get short and add on. Took profits on that strong push down as it looked like potential support forming across those lows and with ES chopping/out of sync with NQ and RTY it seemed reasonable.

    chopped up pretty bad on a second attempt to short MNQ:

    Long on MES. Started out poorly because I tried to fade the top of the range with no real evidence. Zoomed out and remembered the weak test of 4300 yesterday, the morning chop, and the flush lower right before the rally started. Got long while price was retesting the top of the range/4300. Was just trailing my stops, trying to allow for the possibility of a grind up to 4320.

    My entries weren't very efficient, need to limit my re-entries in chop. A behavior I am trying to reign in is the tendency to be overly cautious early in the day when momentum is present, and then realizing that and trying to correct myself/catch up to where I think I "should" be by getting more aggressive between 10am and noon when the volume tends to lighten up and momentum shifts. Also, I am not a big fan of taking partial profits or using "runners", but I did it in that last long position, because I was sensitive to the fact that I was in a drawdown for the session going into that trade. I wanted to at least do something to reduce the risk for the day.
