Practice
NAS100We have our impulse, now we wait for the retest and we enter on continuation.
1. Reversal within the channel
2. 3rd touch on the smaller 15min channel (Top Part)
3. Candles have reduced in size, indicating a smaller demand = less supply
4. Impulse bear candle
US30This muscle called the heart sitting behind my sternum, is about to break my sternum because of emotionally filled answers and observations. It wants the market to break down and keep falling. So let's do the money thing and put it aside and let the brain take over.
We only have one confluence
1. Channel within a channel
Due to lack of confluences, we will wait for more information.
GJIt's a late entry but it still follows the rules. Impulsive break, retest, candle confirmation and then enter. We have a considerably large SL due to our past experiences with GJ and where the market is. For now just watch, if you don't understand why I took this trade rather stay away especially if it does not follow your risk management plan.
US30Even though it took us out. I stayed to watch it because my confidence on the direction was shouting and screaming. 1% either we must increase the size of our SL or the one I'm going to apply wait for the rejection to finish before placing orders.
US30I had placed another sell stop under the previous low, bad idea as either their was a stop hunt or spread situation that tagged me in. I will manually close, WATCH AND WAIT
US30Like we predicated this is not our father's house. So your SL should have protected you and kept you at least 1% up. We keep watching and waiting
US30I have only been back for a day but current running profit should be enough for anyone that has their trading plan following rules. I have only been back a couple of hours and therefore will be monitoring this carefully. If you want to stay safe because you could be busy move your SL either into profits or BE (It's not your father's house remember that). Rather be smart than donate back to the market and your broker.
US30My love and only peace = Forecasting.
I'm coming back with a different mindset, well my thinking is here for this week. As I get back into it, I'll do more of my watchlist and my explaining and the usual. I hope all of you haven't stopped and have been going hard.

EURUSD Kicking myself!!The fact that I missed both of these is getting on my nerves, especially since using regression lines to spot patterns like these is a good 30% of my strategy. I've been incorporating supply and demand into my strategy over the past month or so, and I think I've gotten too focused on just that. Somewhere along the line I stopped tracing regression lines through my fractals and it cost me close to 150 pips over the last two days. I've taken 75 pips over the past two days which is always good but there's no denying that I can improve big time. Waking up to an 80 pip drop in price after you had written the entire day off... Got to stay focused on everything to really take my trading to the next level. It's tough.
Sunday afternoon backtesting sessionToday I am backtesting trades on EURUSD to further improve my strategy and my ability to apply my strategy.
