Short 1268 at 9:42 tgt 1266.5 on a fib line, measured move 2 pt stop

Yes Jas, I think I erred in my first trade because I had maybe elliot wave or something giving me a bias the market would go down... I was thinking the opening gap might close and then trend down the rest of the day. So I was looking to short. But I also made the first entry error in a couple...

And thanks Jas, I was thinking about you this AM, haven't seen a post in awhile. Hope it is coming together for you. I do have trouble reconciling Al Brooks and my class. The classes are so... much into adding Keltner channels, etc., and Brooks is so whatever he is that is the opposite of...

Thanks Sam, a positive trade does relive stress! Maybe NoD is ill too?? Or probably breaking in some new system or proceedure for the year...

11.34 stopped out +4 pts

Wow, it's at a measured move down pivoting around the overnigh low. Could go lower tho..... guess I'll keep trailing stop/tgt

yeessk, moving slow today... Dr said have a 10 day flu?? The common thing here. Never heard of that before. In day 4 or 5 of it, so downhill from here. Glad I have a cushy job like daytrading! monitor says I shorted at 7:52, 1266.00 I've been manually trailing my stop and tgt. not a...

Enthusiasm and a positive balance seem like a good start!

Have something far beyond the sniffles today. Probably better just watch. Looks like a good day tho!

Ahhhhhhh, I'm not going there! [I'll try the airport instead, and a stop by Trader Joe's!]

Ah, to be a child again...

Long ways for me too. But that is kind of the fun. It will take 3 vehicals to get everyone to the airport late today. Then I can dedicate my trading station again without having to think about 2 - 8 year olds getting at it! Best of the new year to all....

Thanks Picaso, I'm for making it as easy as I can too! Doing that is not easy tho...

Thanks Nodoji, I'll keep working on it. Especially the part about being positioned for the BO in the first place, etc.! And doubtless, your use of volitility is in and of it's self a consumate skill! Will think more about what you and Steve have said, we have over 20 people still...

Thanks Steve, I'll have to look at the CL to really grasp what you are saying. Have to actually do it once or twice before it soaks in! What you are saying sounds exactly right and practical too.

I looked back at S/R, I just misread... I didn't think it would enter such a tight trading range so soon. I hindsight, oh yes, it was likely! Didn't realize how you were exiting so quickly, and why. That is a trading range day strategy... moreso than on trending days? I've kind of had...

Spent the last 3 days stuffing my head with Al Brooks videos, and class homework... I tend to overthink think, and trade jumping in/out... after putting so much in my head. One trade is enough! Guess the market is in a Holiday phase too. It's good experience to be a part of that. Know...

.Here is the 'before' out at 8:19 -1.25 pts should I have had a 2 pt stop? was thinking such a likely low volume day, so shrink stops and targets. See how it looks at EOD
