    jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

    2 trades yesterday -4.50 pts My concern at this point is that i become one of those traders who always thinks they're on the brink of finally getting it. My gut tells me i'm on the right path but my PnL says otherwise. Made some mnor adjustments this week. Spending more time watching 3 &...

    Trading on "Instynct" (NQ)

    I'm watching the 1 minute chart more. The better entry or re entry was at 7:21. I didn't take it.

    1 trade -1.25 pts Couple notes on chart. Not much else to say about this one. I don't think it's a bad r:r trade. Basically selling near resistance. If anything my failure was to misjudge the support. Or perhaps just stay out of chop next time.

    2 trades net + 4 first trade long -1.75. Not good enough R:R to have taken trade.Trend still up but chance of getting through HOD resistance after a 3 day rally and prior attempt failed should have kept me out. -1.75 short +5.75 little late on entry .MFE + 9.75 Gave this every chance...

    jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

    JP, notes on chart. trend identification is key. is that what we're trying to pound into my thick head ? Re: Stops. I spent a fair amount of time thinking about fixed v. market structure stops. A blend is ideal which limits entry price and may result in missed entries. Based on market...

    Hey Jp , I'll respond in the a.m.. Thanks for looking and your questions point out to me the obvious NOW :D I'll soon see these things in real time; whch may result in variable stop placement or different entries. Still working on my homework too.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Obvious that Yesterday's high was tested and when held price moved higher. Also abvious that afternoon sell off from high stopped at prior day support area. New S/R lines added, play tomorrow long above short below with an eye on failed breakouts. Close ?

    Trading on "Instynct" (NQ)

    I thought about taking the same trade but didn't like the little double bottom around 12:40 on the 1 minute chart. probably more lucky i stayed out than anything else.

    Still here. yesterday +4 pts, today -2.25 Plan on to keep pluggin' away until something clicks. Doesn't mean i'm approaching this passively. Still trying to understand PA and doing lots of review and reading. One thing i'm trying to learn is using the 3 minute chart with a smaller time...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    You're taking kiss to a new level. And yes on the previous chart you marked up i would have drawn channels and S/R lines much like you've done. FWIW i would have had a S/R line about 71.75 The question on this chart is why no 6/27 LOD line ?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Thanks TO, Re: The 2 day BA chart. The question i thought was directed to MN so if i'm out of line posting my opinion let me know and apologies in advance. The obvious to me is BA is pullbacking in an uptrend. I'd expect support in the 71.50 -71.60.

    Thanks T !. I've been trying to trade first Hour O.R. B/O but am struggling with it a bit. I usually wait for price acceptance then enter and lately the b/o's have failed and trapped me. Of course today it looked like it was failing at OR Hi so i went short and took a loss. OPening...

    I have not been trading well the past few days . I have reduced my position size back to 1 car for most of the trades. Used to be i generally had good entries and poor trade management. Now i am just getting bad PA reads on entry and getting stopped out. I plan on reviewing my set ups and...
