Here is what I saw today, above the green is long and below the red is short. I am learning that scratching out for a small loss is just as good of a trade as pulling out 20 points. It's not near as difficult as we make it seem.
Thursday afternoon, i marked both longs and shorts even though the main trend was down I wanted to show all trades according to my rules and notice some of the longs were profitable also
pretty choppy day but following the rules netted out very nicely today. a trader must rely on his/her own judgement. listening to others will not give you an edge but rather will serve as a distraction
Here is what I saw today in the 500 tick nq, by using a 500 tick chart I believe the price action is easier to read. Over the weekend I read about 1/2 of the book the Taylor trading technique, even though it is an absolute hard read there is good information in it and I believe combined with wyckoff and my own ideas I can pull money from the market on a consistant basis. Probably the number 1 thing I am still learning is getting out with a small loss is as important as having a large gain and also the only way I can make this work is if i take complete ownership of my method and even though I've taken alot of ideas from no doji and db phoenix my method is my own.
If we get to 3670 it could set up a good shorting opportunity but I would wait until we get a confirmation
So the short was never triggered until late in the day, nothing but higher highs and lows it was late afternoon before any shorts could have been taken
