Today I finally got a tool that tracks prv working. It is part of my s/s tool. I spent too much time watching it today I think. I chalk it up to getting used to how it works and having prv to reference. Before I was too haphazard with prv.
My biggest prob today was around 11 - 12 or so. I got a bit lost there.

Short dominant, es and ym at RTL, inc red prv ym,
13:48:15 exit at 1478.25, -0.75 , ftt ym,

Short dominant after FTT (14:50), rtl bo and r2r, , pt 3 on prev bar
15:31:32 reversed at 1479.25, -1, realised this is an FTT

Trade 7
15:31:32 long at 1479.25 (reversal)
Decided to take ftt entry
15:47:54 exit 1478.75, -0.5, red prv ym, new pt3 short, decision to reverse

Debrief: this really is too late in the day!
8 trades, -5pts
Observations: missed all the real pt 3's, forgetting to monitor for FTT after volatility expansion, must not get tempted to trade so late in the day, make better observation of direction of dominant, donât mix levels â forest, tree etc. Chart posted earlier.

Playing 'catch up' today, before heading over to Chicago tomorrow morning. I do plan to have my laptop with me this trip. I hope everyone had a productive week.
