US100I laughed when I saw this but my SL was tight because it was anticipated and it didn't harm the account.
Top100
US100Only if it impulsively breaks down and retests then I will enter with how it is coming along, this is what I am seeing as a probability.
US100Setup after setup after setup. Those who have either hit their TP's or have been adding entries on, well done future influencer in The Financial Direction of your city, area and Country.
I blew an account earlier, only because of a silly mistake. I clicked on the wrong pair while I was executing my trades which then led to the wrong trades being open. One of those pairs had a spread of over 3000 points and I got stopped out. So I am completely at fault and understand the cost of the lesson was not the money but the ignorance of getting too comfortable. I am an android phone user and will not change anytime soon, but this is where I would wish META4 for Android had the instant trade buttons on screen like in IOS. New account opened and from now all trades will be confirmed.
Usually I place the trades then put in the exit points, but from now on I will put in the exit points before executing the trade. This will ensure the instrument I'm trading is correct because if the parameters are wrong, META4 will not put through the trade.
US100Apologies for not updating this trade, but here we see our short trade. Now we remove this from our charts, clean them up again and start all over. The point is to become predictable, once we do that then we also follow the markets predictability and that leads to consistency. I've learned over 7 years (which should have actually been only 3 years) that when you want something; 1 - make the decision, 2 - do the action, 3 - build a schedule doing the action, 4 - repeat 2 & 5 - once you reach your goal rest before the next goal.
US30 & US100Good thing SL was moved into TP, so we stayed up. I left the trade idea to see how much blood will be shed. Now we are waiting for the pullback before we fully enter.
US100We reached a low we haven't reached since July 2020. Around the peak of the rona, which we could use as an extra piece of information. Moving down to the 4H, I see a reversal from the bearish trend in the form of a bull channel (2 touches both on the top & bottom). So I am waiting for the move down to complete before making any moves on this one. 1H, we had a break upwards which reached the previous high and started turning. Therefore either the "double top" will complete itself or a fail will happen and the bulls will come in to keep pushing it up.
LET'S HAVE A PROFITABLE WEEK, FILLED WITH PIPS AND MINIMAL EXPENSES.
US100It is Sunday after all, so our job starts before anyone elses'. Looking at the larger trend and looking left. We are in a bearish trend and have presented a pullback. So this week we could be seeing a probable push up, due to fundamentals. Yet if we look technically, we are seeing more bearish confluences. I'm not a mind reader🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔🤔 and I don't wanna assume that either of you are ∴ We watch and wait.
US100This is also showing me signs that its about to melt. Broke the resistance level and is currently testing it. Should it close above resistance and have an impulsive bull candle then we know it won't melt/ If we have a close below the resistance, then we can expect a melt.
US100Forecast is still the same but entry is changing. Those that did trigger, hit SL and now we out and stay out. DON'T REVENGE TRADE
US100Not liking how the market is moving, so might actually close the trades and wait longer. Both US30 and US100 are moving slow and possibly preparing for a pullback.
US100I'm seeing a textbook like pattern as well. Wait for the break and retest before entering . This is still a business so we don't get excited, we plan, we trade the plan and we mitigate until the deal is closed (Whether profitable or not). Keep your eye on it and watch if it goes inline with your trading plan, IF NOT DON'T TAKE THE TRADE.
US100Following textbook trading, this is a basic pattern which is indicating a downwards demand. Where the market has supplied and how it has supplied, there is not much against the bearish demand. Just watch carefully and trade like you already run a Billion Dollar hedge fund. If you look at it, it is basically going to melt and calling for you to find the melting entry.
US100Had to zoom out for it to make sense, look at the white lines.
Volatility filtering down and creating enough demand for the supply which is coming. I had an interest in US30 and US100 earlier, but I'm glad I got busy with my day job (keeping me away from the charts). I did give a warning about this happening, this is like symptoms of a serious illness about to show itself. So from tomorrow believe everything will not be the easiest to read or to forecast, SO PLAN YOUR TRADES AND TRADE YOUR PLAN.
Plan Constituent : Risk to reward, Pairs traded, patterns used/ indicators used, exit and entry points, active times, psychology, actions followed for trades once a exit has been hit, what the goal is and your signature at the end (mentally it's a binding contract between you and the management version of you)
US100TP hit so we focus on what the market is saying to us and move with it, it is Market close today so I am not aiming to be heavily on the charts just monitor. If anything I believe is in line with my trading plan then I will share my thought.
US100For the method and strategy I used, this was a long trade but still easily manageable and highly profitable. With how this played out, we got to see that US30, US500 & US100 are not the same but have few similar characteristics. They all volatile, influenced heavily by fundamentals and easily misunderstood. My hate of overnight trades wants me to close, but rather I am letting my trade hit one of my exit points. SL has been moved into profit with more than enough breathing room.
Tomorrow we try again.
US100⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️DON'T FOLLOW THIS, JUST WATCH⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Analysis and Forecasting like this is for teaching, because the direction the market goes will show us the possibility and the probability. The reason we stay sharpening our skill (Like a Katana) is so that we strike less times but each strike is as efficient as possible. My head space also isn't the greatest, I've actually taken a lot of losses. So I am actually staying out of the market and going through my mistakes and getting my Psychology Right.
US100Iplaced this early thinking I am using the new strategy but only as it ran did I see that I am using my default strategy. It is clearly engrained deep in my heart and head😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣. Those that are going to watch and follow, It's Friday CLOSE YOUR LAPTOP AND ENJOY THE WEEKEND. DON'T HAVE WEEKEND TRADES. This week we should be up over 2% of our Monday Acc.
I've moved SL into Profit on US30 and to BE on US100.
😎😎😎
NAS100⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
FIRSTLY THERE WAS NO SL SO IF IT HAD A SL, IT WOULD'VE BEEN HIT. BUT WE HAVE MORE DATA SO WE CLOSE THE TRADES AND GO ABOUT OUR DAY.😎😎😎😎😎😎
Now we stay watching and waiting for the next move we will enter but I will leave the forecast to understand our data.
US100⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Added this to the trades. Whatever happens or I decide to do I will post results and we have more data to add to the validity of the strategy.
US100I didn't pay attention on Friday and just got caught up with my own things. I forgot that I am at work so it requires responsibility and discipline. So in that I have to hold myself accountable, but because we follow rules the loss did not wipe out my account. It only took out my profits from the previous week.
US100Till we get a retest of the current break I am not entering the market. Yesterday we took a quick buy and closed, then the market dropped. Then we had buy stops and manually closed just before the market dropped once again.
US100Stopped out, took my money and ran. Cannot be greedy. whether I want more or not. SL is important in my trading plan wherever going to sleep is involved.
US100Same as US30, run it but move SL into profits or to BE. The market cannot be taking what you just made.
