    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Matcha, don't despair, it was a crazy day. You should consider it a success that you only had a small loss - many people got hurt badly today. Tomorrow is another day, just make sure to start with a clean slate. :)

    Mr. Bo Chin, do you re-evaluate your profile as the session progresses? For example, right now, it seems we're building a new value area between 82.00-20 and 81.40 with POC at 80.60-ish. Or do you stick to your initial profile for the rest of the day? Thanks.
