jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

3 trades -14 ticks. Only about a 65 tick range. Plan executed well. On days like this I think about what can I change. Nothing right now. Not much info to be learned on a slow day like today. Patience.

===========

Handle,

I just started trading NQ lately since CL has gotten slow. Thanks for the chart.

Today I should have been watching NQ more closely. That was my mistake today given the big gap down. No NQ trades.
 
T-ing this up for tomorrow

=======================

Day 1 results = Plan executed well



=======================

Day 2 / 9 (we're on a two week goal of consistency)


Let's do our job today

Early on as possible - identify the environment - on your TTF (chop / range/ trend) and trade within it - and keep on it like stink on shit


Nothing fancy (made up)..., no BS - iow stick to each plan

I don't like being disappointed in myself EOD.

Thanks Handle. Some of those entries are ones I would look to take. Several I would have passed on ( and missed profits) because of the potential nearby S/R . The entries look to be within a possible S/R area; the 9:13, 9:33 & 9:58 trades.

Do you consider nearby S/R levels at all when taking entries ? Thank you

PS Posted question here as I thought others may be interested.

On balance I did much more right than wrong. Still, 1 impulse trade in NQ (reversing after an exit) and one mismanaged exit in CL. Good patience in both markets which were kinda choppy early on. Can't count this as a day executed per plan because of the aforementioned. Because of the correct things did I'm not frustrated with myself. I do expect more of myself though. This level of discipline may have been acceptable in the past but not going forward. 2 mistakes on a slow day can be the difference between profit and loss for the day.

I wasn't available to trade last couple hours.

-11 CL ticks , + 16 NQ points

Trading two markets is still new to me. Feels weird because I had always thought I should only focus on one. It's moving past that preconception/belief that makes it feel weird I suppose. I do expect that on more volatile days then I will have to focus solely on 1 market.

Better discipline tomorrow.
 
T-up for tomorrow
