State of Mind

We all have a ritual. I made an effort to wake up 30 mins before with coffee and music as prep. I remember my negative days being when i just wake up and go straight to the pc. But that's the extent of it.

No meditation but i would try it. When I review charts in the weekend. There's nothing like a hookah session while reviewing.

11/08 Last Day

Today the market was in a range day. Fading the extremes. Today I used 1 contract as it being the last day and to reduce risk.

Trade 1 - Long stopped (-10tks)

Trade 2/3 - Short, both trades stopped at trailers, (+22tks)

11/07 Line in the Sand

Today 94.50 was the line in the sand. If the market maintained above 94.50 then bullish bias. Below 94.50 then bearish bias. Today the U.S opened below this level, so shorts only.

Trade 1 - Short on breakout pullback, (+16 tks)

Inquiry

Today I had several emails concerning mentorship. Listed is the itinerary for the 3 month mentorship.

1st month - Daily homework and review of HTF (Auction Market). I will show a different way of identifying value using a specific bar chart. This is an important process I use to develop my daily game plan. You will be held accountable for your work each day. This is how you will learn.

2nd month - Setup chart, I use range and renko chart for price structure.

3rd month - Orderflow to fine tune entry.

It's funny orderflow is the craze now but it's the least important. Location is key.

11/05 Those type of Dayzzzz

Today's game plan was bias short but we also had weekly VA which gave some long scalp opportunities.

Trade 1/2/3 - Counter-Trend trades long 2 scratch trades, 1 loss (-2 tks)

Trade 4 - Trend trade stopped at (+10tks)

11/04 Difficult Analysis

Today I had a bit of a mixed bias. Bias slightly to the downside but we are hitting some support in a tight confluence. But was only looking for shorts lining against supply.

Trade 1 - Scalp trade long but I cut it short as I saw sellers hitting the bid (+1tk)

Trade 2 - Short with orderflow confirmation (+16tks)

11/01/13

Trade plan for today, I was expecting a rotational day unless yesterdays levels broke. I did to the downside. I was looking for a pullback testing the VAL's but it just kept grinding down signifying a trend day. Bias was shorts only.

Today had 2 trades.

Trade 1 - Loser but did work if I kept my stop at usual place but this was just before FOMC and other news so kept stop tight against a volume cluster (-4).

Trade 2 - Winner (best setup after testing value) +20.
