So I anticipated more frequent trades using this plan but it seems that I might not get as many as anticipated. I am not going to loosen the rules or change the plan. I realized I either have to create more opportunities by watching several instruments with 1 setup or add the setup into the 1 market. I have decided to continue the original plan and add another setup/environment plan for range days. I am not making any changes to the original plan that read over. I am just adding an additional setup for a different kind of environment. I will be tracking the results the same way.
The read was right but the environment was wrong and honestly, the read doesn't matter. I didn't get the same 'I knew it' satisfaction I used to get. This is a good sign because I am more focused on building my system over a set of trades in a sample size rather than trying to prove my TA reading capabilities.
Hourly looks like it might setup for a long. Will check back in 1hr to see if the 5min is bottoming correctly. It is the most connected of the trade charts.
Critical juncture with too much R:R . Great setup but have to stand aside. Anything can happen next even though it's so pretty.
Almost had a trade at 3:55PM. It would have been a range based trade using the 15M as my context. The 1M was setting up and then it rejected my entry line hard. The buyers are still in control at the moment. The support on the 1hr and 2hr is pretty strong.
