Hi Matcha,

Sorry to hear your lasik surgeried eye. Hope the doctor can do something about it.

Yeah, a couple of big monitors will help to monitor multiple charts at different timeframes all at once without having to flip between the charts on the "lappy".

Today, I did really bad as usual with the tight range bound day. The only thing I achieved was I did only 3 trades. But, All 3 got stopped out. 0 out of 3, very depressing. It's one of those days, nothing worked for me. :confused:

PO, no worries. Tomorrow is a new fresh day. Losing is normal, no big deal as long as you followed your plan and did everything right!

I can’t believe I had a negative day today. Today could be one of the best days for me…

I made a few good entries and I hold position longer than before. But probably I am too greedy and I hold position too long. Great trades turned to negative or b/e trades.
After a very good long trade turned to be a scratched trade. I got frustrated and went a bit all over the place. Even though by looking at all the signals I convinced myself today is a overall bullish day, still, I entered the short trades because I thought the trend is reversing (on 5 min chart.)

TRADE A, Entered as pullback trades, Trin and Tick shows bullish. Then I did measured move, wave count, Fib etc. I came up with the target area to take profits-10340, When price reached that level. I got over excited then choose to hold longer. I set my new target to 10355 areas and move my stop to be 5 points profit, then I left my desk for 2 hours. After I came back, my stop was hit.

$190 profit turned to $20 profit…

Then, I went back in, but my stop was hit on a loss. When I saw the stop was hit again. I then thought the trend is reversing. So I went short, bet against the prevailing trend. Stopped again… I took a moment look at the chart. I decide to go with the trend, go long. Sadly, the long trade, $105 profits turned to $10 profit…
Then I went back in again….

Trade B and Trade C are both scratch trade. Trade C did hit my target level 10355 zone, but I still, too greedy, though it could break out more….

The great thing is somehow, I felt less anxious when I entered the position. I can hold position longer. I felt calmer. But I do get frustrated when profit turned to nothing…

No great profitable trade to offset all the losses. So today’s PnL….

PnL: -$119, 10 Trades, 50% winrate.
