Futures trading journal - GB

Unlike the Nikkei where a level has to be crossed 17 times before it chooses a direction lol
Depends on TF

a weekly wicking down looks like one test on the weekly but on a 4hr or daily it’s wicked multiple times
 
Yes, good point. See the forest through the trees or whatever the saying is.

Hey it's coming up to Christmas. So the oil companies will want to take advatntage of the period where people are driving more. CL to surge! What news story will they use to mask their intent? Something to do with Ukraine no doubt.
 
Oh wait. Oil pumping... because of easing concerns about Chinese economy! Hahah!

Straight lined it up to the daily FVG.
 
Back at 4000, which for me means the short position is potentially finished.
 
are you looking at trading view continuous contract? i see that has changed/gapped
 
Have pretty much finished tweaking the algo.

A good book for the psychology aspect of trading below. This is my main resource and daily practice at the moment. Aiming to be more advanced in this aspect before going live. Got some other refs if anyone interested.

So I actually had that right. Got confused by the roll over business.

Got to 3990, avoided the important 4000 level. Actually still bearish.
 
Looking at options for automation. I'm getting way ahead of myself here, but it doesn't hurt to start doing some investigating. It's the end goal, after all.

Seems like you can use buy/sell alerts from your TV code to create 'webhooks' that send orders to MT5. So I'd need a futs broker that offers MT5. There are other options for automation, but this seems the most easy to set up. Has anyone hee done this? What's your experience?
 
+11.6% at the 3 week mark. I can't plot the equity curve bc I can't download my trades on demo. But it's a smooth line - that's the main thing.

I've broken the rules only a small number of times, and in a slight way. For me, that's good - actually a huge improvement. I put it down to the meditation. Just got to keep at it. There will be a point when I know I'm ready, but I can't estimate when that will be.
 
ES appears strong, but unless it breaks 4000 (specifically, 4003!), I think a big red day is coming.
Kablamo! It took out 4003. So with my system (which may be wrong), going through 4003 means the bear phase is finished. So if the price drops with the CPI, I'll use it to buy.
