+414 The pinning action in BIDU was surreal. Had a > $25 1-minute bar earlier this week, yet stayed within $1 of 570 from around 11.30AM today. A good weekend to all !
+$693 Day +$3055 Week Did the exact opposite of what I said yesterday. CL was so rangebound from pre-market through the open, that I left it alone and traded POT, shorting the opening range breakout @ 122.79 and holding until price had majorly washed out beneath a falling 20-bar EMA on the 1-min chart and finally moved up through the high of that final basing range (120.35). Shorted it again @ 121.08 on the pullback from the overbought bounce, covered @ 120.28 when it seemed to be putting in a higher low. Left a bit behind on that one. Later on I counter-trended POT, which had reversed to the upside, shorting @ 121.40. After taking a .25 cent move on that trade, I decided that since I violated my âno mid-day tradesâ rule AND counter-trend traded without a clear signal to do so, Iâd do well to stop myself right then and there and called it a day before I started doing dumb things. Well if ever there was a day to remain focused on CL and trade the breakout through the opening range low, today was that day and I really regret not taking that trade in my live account. I was trading POT and noticed CL breaking down hard, and then kept thinking it was too low to short. Late in the day I had one CL sim trade, which was counter-trend, but the trade was taken on a strong short signal bar. I took profits on the first lot, and moved my stop on the 2nd lot to b/e. Later I was bored with it and distractedly moved my stop down 2 ticks from b/e. I was taken out TO THE TICK (80.93) just minutes before the selloff, leaving $350 additional potential simbucks on the table just by that one little change. I want to state for the record that my trading tactics are so predictable that my friend who also trades POT guessed my entry price on the first trade of the day within .01 cent :eek: Have a good weekend!
