Good loss limitation but not a single big win in 2 weeks.

Pav, firstly feel free to tell me to mind my own business as you dont know me. This is not a regular job - the pay cheques dont come slow and steady every week. Sometimes one waits a long time for the right opportunities and the secret is to still be in the game when they come.

I can see from your posts that you know this already but we can all do with a reminder sometimes. Or maybe its just me that KNOWS things and still trades on inferior thought patterns at times.............

You'll note that the three bars at the pivot (LOW)+ were heavy volume
This indicated at least a short term reversal.
So when it came to test and failed that was enough for me.

To be clear
The one before the pivot
The pivot and the one after the test bar and exit are marked.
 
Long tonight.
Missed the breakout--not at screen
But managed to get on the micro Pattern.



Stop at 14
 
Update closed long now short
Nothing very convincing here.

Night of "what ifs" for me!

Finished up 35 points.


Missed one on the top 6756 stop 6749.
Only reason I didn't take it is because the gap "just" didn't fill.
I'm so dirty about this because I was 100% set to take this if that gap had filled. Could have held this all night.

Took another 2 trades. One taken by 1 tick. Another taken by 2 ticks.

Could have easily been 100 points with 1 running. But will have to settle for 35.

Gee that one on open is annoying because I was waiting for it and saw it!
 
Out at 80 toppy and struggling.
Thats it for tonight.
28 + 18 for the night.

Night all
 
Thanks Tech for a look at your trading as it is happening.
Very good and very generous of you.
 


Yes a good reminder to have
 
Haven't traded tonight.
But saw this



No closes outside the pattern yet
3 bars after I took this shot.
 
Then this just got filled on the short.





Covered at 844 so 18 ticks.
