Trading on "Instynct" (NQ)

[Instynct]

Just a messy day after the first down move. Its hard to hold on your short for swings in the face of a larger up trend that is still very much in tact, but damn was it tough to scalp today as well. Lousy day for me, but still an up day.

Would love to see how everyone else did...

Don't worry no one will judge you negatively, and if they do they aint worth your time anyway

Not trading last few days, just checking in as work allows. Today I probably would have been negative looking back at it.

Can I whine a little while i'm at it ?

Choppy pullbacks i struggle with. So i watched alot then made 2 lousy trades EOD. My other trades are within my game plan. Well, one was questionable -in retrospect of course.

Arrived late so missed about first hour.

Profitable days back and forth all week. I may have to just trade every other day. Tomorrow should be green.

Jas, what time frame you use for entries?

 

[jas_in_hbca]

entries 1 minute and most of my focus is here. Also watch a 500 vol chart when action is quick which gives a good read over the 1 min.

5 minute is my next most watched chart then some larger time frames as well

Nice day to scalp and trade the range, but by the time I realize that the damage was already done. Today's action is reminiscient of last friday. -281 for the day and -81 for the week. Third losing week in a row which has not happened in a while.

Factor in the commission fees you paid for the trades, you are actually slightly profitable this week.
