Turning point chart.

:D I wish I could be more of a help here...
At least it has a nice reaction on your level; triggering several stops on the break down and then reversing...
 
I used to trade similar quick bounces (scalps off S/R) back in 2008-2009 in FX when the daily ATR was large, it was free money back then then, however these days things are different, and the problem with taking quick bounces against the trend (especially in equity markets) is that it might instil in a beginner some really bad habits (if one is initially rewarded with success) and the bad habits then might be hard to shake off.

It’s much better not to pee against the wind, and rather to trade with the direction of the market, it’s higher probability and better R/R.

Also, if you look at SPX, it seems that ASX200 is very correlated to SPX (especially after hours), so I think one might be better off trading the SPX instead, because SPX seems to pattern better than ASX, and I think that ASX200 won’t go anywhere without the SPX. However, I don’t trade ASX, so I could be mistaken and wrong.

You can start looking at things like this when building a “price story” and see if that works for you. Obviously, it’s much easier to mark-up charts in hindsight, but the fact is that S/Rs, SD zones, geometrical levels and few other tools can be marked up on charts in advance, which helps with objectivity.

Thanks.

Agree that a checklist will help.


If you mean short term long position and longer term short position then I agree.

I shorted at 7383 and exited at 7245 so I was looking for a short term bump at 7228 before continuation of downtrend.

I wasn't awake to trade it but I got a small reaction to 7228.I think I would have been looking for a bit more.
