  3. Light trading day, and once price hit my sell zone of 70.75 to 77 I had no more appetite to buy.

  5. Im not getting stopped out in the conventional sense of 'buy here, place a stop under x, and if price hits my stop then trade is invalidated.' That's not how I trade. And fading price doesn't necessarily mean you are going against the "trend". It depends what trend you are talking about.

  7. My analysis is pretty much all subjective based on market structure. I'm watching HH/HL, TL, S/R and swing hi's and lo's and how price reacts near it. Price rejection is big for me.

    I check different times frames for S/R and watch 30 minute opening range. Daily hi's and low and prior days as well. I like reversals ; failed b/o and pullbacks to S/R. Trading pullbacks in stronger trends is a weakness of mine that i'm working on.

    I'm usually pretty good about being on the right side of the market but if a failed b/o fails then i'm learning to reverse quickly.

    today i was hesitating a bit so missing some goods moves then getting in near end of trends or going in to chop.

    I think that answer your question, right ?

  9. My short bias hurting.. The long at 70.5 was to be held (textbook 1_2_3 entry), BUT! Don't know how BMW does it but trading has to have ALL of your attention. Jack of all trades doesn't work.. work or trade..

  10. Yes.. Point I was trying to make is most traders would be better off sticking to one direction for at least half the session... Short, Long, Short, Long, Long, Short, Short... Messes with your head.
