I wouldn't get caught long I'd wait for 51/52 to be retested after the breakout if i was to go long at all.

Yes Its a short for me. I have the TICKQ divergence which confirms my opinion. Managing these entries is the next phase because price can stay in that range if it wants to.

well first we had the DT at 51.50 then followed by that poke. and yes the idea is we would travel back to the other end of the range. Mind you this is all happening in 7 minutes time. If I consider the lower portion of the range with the mean of 60 that's 45. So we double top saying price...

technically the poke out of the range is an upthrust according to wyckoff and down out of a range a shakeout. Don't know how much of a poke it has to be to qualify for it to be called an upthrust. These are just my definitions. A dog is just what you expect to happen (continuing higher)...

zooming out

Yes 52 was funny I was anticipating 58-60 being reached. But then the mother didn't bite. I hate posting in hindsight. Too lazy to type my notes/prep but it's all in my notebook lol.

Here's some context and the "entry chart" minus the tickq. DB can step in and correct me if I'm wrong in assuming "climactic action"

The problem w 52 tho is it wasn't a predetermined level but the behavior was there.

To each their own I suppose. I actually found today rather interesting. If you go long off of 19 that uptrend takes you to 51.50 where you get some sideways action followed by TDTDB to 52.50 w TICKQ divergence (action I look for). That takes you down some points then a lower high at 45 a...

Hey man....I'm no expert but This I think is your biggest mistake. Forget the money, the entries, the exits etc. if you're not focusing on the flow/behavior what is it you're focusing on? Bars? Also stop the cws on static charts. If you want to use a faster interval and read behavior/flow you...

Just a word of advice. If you do plan on entering off of the 5sec chart sim it before you trade it live. Statically it all looks great entering here or there or placing a entry stop here or there but that chart is fast and doesn't afford the "luxury" of using the 1min 1pt stop entry. I don't...

Here's an SLA recap. At least how I see it. Just entries. Missed one short entry which I didn't mark at 10:25 or so.

Adding 4114ish as a level of interest. 4190 is now about 50% back from 4233.75-4145

trade of the day. Double Top with TICKQ divergence. 5s chart is the second top.

areas of interest for tomorrow. 4225-26 4201 4190 4165-69 4140 We've traded above 26 as high as 33.75 and recently below 01 as low as 97. We'll see what the rest of the overnight brings. Goal is to plan trades in advance, execute, manage and deal with whatever the results may be.

Don't know if anyone was looking at this but the TICKQ went straight south right from the open as well.

Sorry I don't have a chart in front of me I was just going by what I remember. I think there were some pretty "clean" plays within the overnight range also that day and price only came back as far as the mean before the breakdown if I remember correctly.

On a faster interval that is

Yea take a break and retest of the broken level. Those attempts don't go very far and we consolidate for another hour and change then we do the same play again waiting for that new low of the consolidation to break and be retested. This was actually an interesting day.

What kind of trader do you want to be? What are your goals/objectives?
