    Comment

    Entry – See “also DT” on chart - Good

    Stop – Breach of the DT – as the DNTL was not really established

    Target – Good


    Trade 3.
    the nq broke out of congestion and tested the mid point and made a higher low
    long at 3553.75
    stop of 35551
    target last swing high of 66.

    Comment

    Good job identifying the congestion – I say congestion because the PA is dirty

    Entry – Good

    Stop – Good

    Target – Good – but see how price started ranging when it neared the last SH – it does that – exit – no need giving back money (unrealized profit)


    Last trade
    higher low at 33569
    stop at 3566.25
    target breach of up move trend line.

    Comment

    I think the entry price is screwed up (3356.9)

    This is a classic example where former R becomes S (light blue line)

    Entry – Good

    Stop – Good

    Target – Good

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

    All in all..., the context you drew looks good – it is accurate – it reflects what price is saying

    And we are PA traders - with the focus / emphasis on P :)

    Yo


    A trade management to incorporate into the tool kit;


    If price between the entry and target – and begins to range

    This range;

    Could be a PB - which BO and continues

    Could be price no longer wanting to continue

    Could be price changing its mind..., hence direction



    Trade management;

    If price BO toward the target – stand pat

    If price remains in the range – for what you consider an extended period of time – exit (trades neither working - nor not working - are a wast of our time)

    If price BO back toward the entry – (against the position) – exit


    And should the range develop close / near the target - exit..... (and don't give it a second thought - always another trade looming on the horizon)




    Just a little sumthin – sumthin to add to the ole arsenal Sir

    Trade 1.
    higher low long at 3574.350
    stop breach of up move trend line
    target 3586 pre market swing high.

    Comment

    The circle is on the wrong bar (too low)

    Making a breach of the UMTL - the stop… before the UMTL is established – can’t happen

    And if you’re by chance referencing an UMTL that isn’t drawn – then that can’t happen either - it isn't drawn

    The trade is there.., but the context (defining entry & stop) is not clear and concise

    Attention to detail - always

    Entry –
    Stop –
    Target –

    Trade 2.
    higher low long at 3588.25
    stop 3585.25 1 tick below signal bar
    target last swing high of 3597.

    Comment

    Much clearer context

    Entry – Good

    Stop – Good

    Target – Good


    Trade 3.
    long above support at 3602
    stop 3599.75
    target breach of up move trend line.

    Comment

    Entry – Good

    Stop – Or a breach of the UMTL

    Target – Sweet (ride it as long as it permits :) )



    Trade 4.
    long above support at 3609.75
    stop 3607.50
    target breach of up move trend line.

    Comment

    Entry – Good

    Stop – Good

    Target – Good


    Overall

    Trade 1 context / stop is suspect

    TLs look good

    Horizontal context is on the light side – there's a lot more PA on this chart to build some solid horizontal context on

    I adjusted you S to R line just a bit - see if it makes more sense
