    As our analysis of the last chart has concluded


    I want to add this gentle reminder - be precise when drawing TLs

    Overall..., that last chart looks great - just me being my usual anal retentive self

    reference the 3 red circles - always start a TL at the end of the wick

    :)

    Sitting here doing my prep for tomorrow and thought of you

    Aside; (just to ensure we're in sync)

    I work off the following TFs;

    Long Term TF (LTTF) – to id the overall trend

    Interim TF (ITF) – to id the current trend & zones

    Trading TF (TTF) – to trade/ read the inner workings of ITF bar(s)

    Short Term TF (STTF) to fine tune entries/ exits / read the inner workings of TTF bar(s)

    =============

    Anyway...

    The LTTF trend is intact – as is the ITF trend – so no adjustments necessary there

    The ITF zones – marked the 2 formed Friday.., an removed an older one no longer in play (because price has gone through it.., up and down.., several times)

    Marked the H/L of the last bar on the LTTF

    Cleaned up the TTF / STTF charts (from Friday's trading)

    Made mental notes where these new zones are on all TFs

    Marked where price is currently on the STTF / TTF

    And that is about it

    Not sitting here what if-ing.., or trying to guess / second guess - what price is going to do (hell, we never know anyway)..,

    Nor am I doing any other esoteric thing

    I have the trend & levels (zones).., (aka my horizontal / vertical map)

    I’ve mentally noted where the levels (zones) are on all the TFs

    Tomorrow premkt – I’ll observe the PA

    Come 9:30 – off to the races

    No need to over think this stuff… because fact is…, we never know

    Not to mention price may change its mind 37 times between now and tomorrow…, or even 38 or 9

    Btw.., took me longer to write this than do my prep

    Always strive to K.I.S.S


    Granted - futures may be different due to the overnight session... I don't know... and please look into that.... but I bet there isn't that much of a difference (as the majority of volume occurs RTH)


    ================

    Reminder..., tomorrow – absolutely no pressure – and there never should be

    Simply..., and always - take it as it comes

    Another day, another donut, Volume rules when you can such a simple indicator that tells me when not to take a trade. Often times the difference of having a profitable day is not taking 1-2 signals.
