Yeah I like the colors for the moment. The line is um...part of my "edge" haha. The arrows just show where i bought and sold
most OPs don't like to hear comments on their trades. anyway, since the market at this moment is dull, I can afford to chit-chat. Your entry was rather late. The market is merciless to those who are late. You wouldn't earn $$$ if you hesitated too much.
Thank you for your time and comment, I definitely appreciate the feedback, that's why I'm here. I agree with you, that bearish lower high was the superior entry. I had a sense I was late. And what you said about hesitation is definitely true, and something I am focused on improving.
16 Aug your NQ two important points. 1. There was a strong upforce momentum. After that, you have to ask yourself : will NQ continue its downward journey or will NQ reverse direction and go up? When you shorted NQ, the upforce momentum was still strong. 2. also, you did not notice that when you shorted NQ, all US index futures (ES YM NQ RTY) & other index futures like DAX .... were going up together.
"Prolly nothing", if you ask me. Be that as it may, you have the hindsight benefit. In reality, this is more or less what you're up against.
ok yup I see that. And yeah, I had the general impression from earlier in the session that ES was ranging and RTY and NQ were moving down. But in that actual moment of the trade, I didn't have sight of what they were doing precisely.
Snapped a 7 day winning streak today. Definitely knew price was chopping around the middle of the overnight range, but still fought it way too much. Got this long going on MYM, had the thought of letting it trail but was a bit weak handed due to the earlier losses.
Working on getting in earlier and avoiding being late. Took a few losses to get into position, was being a little too early/sloppy. Once I felt I was in, I added on and rode it up to the equal highs. Tried to jump back in with a 1 lot as I felt I hadn't given it enough of a chance to really run stops but ended up exiting because I realized I was getting impulsive again.
