Trade Review - DNA
When this stock was added to the watchlist, it displayed a bullish continuation setup on the daily timeframe. On the higher timeframe, there was also a potential for downside overextension, suggesting a possible pullback within the larger downtrend.
On the next chart, executions are shown. In anticipation of the trade, I look for a failed breakout against the trend—a failure test—where the price moves outside the lower boundary of an established consolidation. If it then closes back within the range, I sometimes enter before market close. For these trades, I often close a partial position as the price nears the upper part of the range, in case the range holds without a breakout.
Trade Overview
• Structure: Bullish Continuation (D) / Bearish Pullback (W)
• Position: Near Mean (D) / Extended from Mean (W)
• Entry Trigger: Failed Breakout (Opposite to Trend)
Entry Details
• Entry Price: 7.77
• Stop Price: 6.73
• Target Price (Range): 8.72
• Target Price (Measured Move): 11.62
Exit Strategy

Trade Review - UPST
Added UPST to the watchlist on October 27 due to a bullish continuation pattern on the daily chart. A quick look at the higher timeframe showed that the price was near the upper extreme of its range, with an earnings report date approaching as a precaution.
I closed the position within the measured move range (based on the assumption that the stock would maintain a similar range and volatility). However, expect that events or shifts in market behavior can move prices short of / outside this projection.

Trade Review - SYMI plan to be more active and share my trades and insights regularly.
Information
I swing trade with focus on stock with short term momentum. My trades are identified through a two-step screening process. I use a passive screener outside of market hours to manually select stocks based on structure and position, to allow preparation and prevent too many options. At market open, I run an active screener to track for movement within the watchlist, as timing and momentum in selected stocks can be unpredictable. This allows me to be time efficient, I require no more than 20-30 minutes per open session.
Identified through my passive screener outside of market hours, this stock showed an initial momentum move to the upside on the daily timeframe, followed by consolidation near the mean price - a setup conducive to continuation. I occasionally check a higher timeframe (weekly) for context; in this case, it made a overextension to the downside which could follow with a pullback toward the mean (or not). The aim here isn’t to predict but to take a bet / capitalize on potential imbalances when they appear. Thus it was added to the watchlist.
At market open, this stock appeared on my active scanner, and when it reached 24.60, I entered as a clear range expansion was forming. I typically scale out at 1R and hold the remaining position for a measured move (projected from the prior momentum move). While the approach is straightforward, I occasionally adjust based on real-time conditions, as seen in this example. Execution details are shown below.
Trade Overview
• Structure: Bullish Continuation (Daily) and Bearish Pullback (Weekly)
• Position: Near mean price (Daily) and extended from mean price (Weekly).
• Entry Trigger: Range Expansion
Entry Details
• Entry Price: 24.60
• Stop Price: 22.07
• Target Price: 34.32
• Expected Risk/Reward: 3.84 R
Exit Strategy
• Exit Price: Closed 50% at 29.84 and 25% at 29.45.
Performance Summary
• Result: Price have moved 20.53% with a profit of 2R, trailing 25% with a near SL.
I wrote a bit more than usual for this review since it's my first review post, but the real approach itself is quite simple. Future posts will be more concise.
Trapped traders provides a great Short opportunity on DOW The plan for the session was to trade short off resistance on the DOW after an initial opening drive higher. The short side was the play and paid out nicely for patient sellers.
In the video I talk through the key Price Action for the move and prime trade areas on the DOW Index.

Review: Did You Make a Clear Plan? Did You Follow That Plan?We can break up the review section of the trading into several distinct sections.
1. Review for discipline and personal insight
2. Review for performance (statistics)
3. Review for market insight
4. Review for method development
I'm going to do the first section "Review For Discipline". We can keep this simple and ask 2 questions.
1. Did you make a clear and objective plan?
2. Did you then do what you said you were going to do in the plan?
These questions demand honest, yes-or-no answers. They force you to confront your trading discipline head-on, without room for excuses or escape. If the answer is no that's ok, just start over with the commitment to keep at it and don't spend too much time on regrets. You might need to make your plan more clear or simply learn the discipline to stay with it. Keep in mind that this isn't about whether you won or lost, it is about learning consistency and discipline.

MTNL trying to bounce from a rejection levelMTNL after few weeks of consolidation is again trying to regain prior highs. The stock is bouncing from 0.382% fibo levels and has given a close above prior resistance levels. Looks prime to attain recent highs in coming weeks.

CLH Entry, Volume, Target, StopEntry: with price at or slightly above 178.34
Volume: with volume greater than 272.5k. This stock trades too thin for my liking.
Target: 193.42 area (this is an area, no guarantee it reaches this price, but you should be selling on the way up)
Stop: Depending on your risk tolerance; Based on an entry of 178.34 & target of 193.42, a stop at 174.57 gets you 4/1 Reward to Risk Ratio.
This LONG swing trade idea is not trade advice and is strictly based on my ideas and technical analysis. No due diligence or fundamental analysis was performed while evaluating this trade idea. Do not take this trade based on my idea, do not follow anyone blindly, do your own analysis and due diligence. I am not a professional trader.
BOIL Day Trade Recap and ReviewBOIL the 3x Leveraged ETF of natural gas futures has been highly volatile. Volatility yields high
profits if there are good entries and trade management. This past Friday BOIL was doing a
reverse split ( 20 shares become one) which I considered to be an opportunity for high profit
because a higher number of traders would have eyes on the chart.
The 15-minute chart is shown here with an anchored VWAP from 2 days earlier. At market open
price reversed a downtrend after the reverse split in the premarket. It got support from the line
one standard deviation below the mean VWAP. My first considered entry was the second green
HA candle in the reversal with a stop loss at the pivot low of the red candles. However
I passed on this entry and instead entered upon price crossing the mean VWAP. The entry
was supported by the indicators showing Z score and volatility. The entry was made more
precise by analysis on the 5-minute chart. The stop loss was set at the value of the close of the
last candle to close below VWAP. After that, trade management was routine. Every time
price went up 1% I raised the stop loss by the same amount until getting up 6% Once at that
level, I changed to a trailing stop loss of 2% so I could pay attention to other trading chores.
At the same time, I set an alert for when the price crossed to above two standard deviations
above the mean anchored VWAP. I did this because this is the overvalued overbought area
where institutional traders will set sell orders either short selling or closing profitable
trades. The resultant reversal would diminish my unrealized profits. In this case, I got
the alert and closed the position without the trailing loss. The trade resulted in a profit
of 12% without use of leverage or margin other than the leverage imbedded in BOIL inself.
EUR/USD: 17/05. Good input for sale OANDA:EURUSD I expect EUR to consolidate in the 1.0850/1.0950 range. EUR traded between 1.0855 and 1.0910 before closing slightly lower at 1.0865 (-0.010%). The fundamental tone has softened somewhat and EUR is likely to drop lower today, but any decline could be part of a lower range of 1.0839/1.0895. In other words, a clear break below 1.0845 is unlikely.
Next 1-3 weeks: “Our update from Monday (May 15, spot at 1.0855) is still valid. As highlighted, the outlook for EUR remains negative and the level to watch is at 1.0805. On the other hand, a breach of 1.0945 (no change to 'strong resistance') would indicate that the EUR weakness that began mid-week is over.

AUD/USD: 15/05: Short term signal todayOANDA:AUDUSD AUD/USD refreshes the intraday high near 0.6666 as it bounces off key short-term support to record its first daily gain in three days early Monday. In doing so, the Aussie pair also justifies the recovery of the RSI line (14) from the oversold zone.
It is worth noting that the bullish MACD signals also support a reversal from the two-week-old horizontal support zone around 0.6645.
Even if the AUD/USD pair surges past 0.6685, the 200-HMA and the horizontal zone comprising multiple levels marked since May 5, close to 0.6756, could challenge buyers. before giving them control.
Alternatively, a downside break of the aforementioned horizontal support near 0.6645 will not hesitate to challenge the late-April swing low around 0.6570.
The RSI has now broken out of the oversold zone. At the same time, the MACD line has started to cross the Sinal line. These are the factors that are currently supporting the AUD/USD rally.
GOLD 11/05: Scalp ahead of tonight's PPI newsTVC:GOLD Gold prices increased their bid to refresh the intraday high near 2,035$ early Thursday, reversing the previous day's retracement from a one-month-old horizontal resistance. Precious metals benefit from broad US Dollar weakness.
The XAU/USD pair maintains a neutral to bullish view in the daily chart. The pair is growing above all of its moving averages, although the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) has lost its positive momentum, currently hovering around 2,010$.
The 4-hour chart shows that XAU/USD holds above the bearish 20 SMA, while the longer moving averages are not below it. Technical indicators head south but remain neutral, not enough to confirm another drop. Gold could extend its decline, but buyers are likely to reappear around 2,026$ as the US Dollar's current strength may be temporary.

EUR/JPY: 11/05. Expectations for SELL BREAKOUT BEFORE PPI NEWSEUR/JPY has printed consecutive bearish sessions breaking last year's high of 148.48, extending its losses past the 18-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The evening star three candlestick pattern shows that further downtrend is expected. But the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator remains bullish, while the 3-day Rate of Change (RoC) depicts the momentum sellers are gathering.
If EUR/JPY falls below the current week low of 147.02 and the RSI breaks through the 50 moving average, it will exacerbate the decline of the 50-day EMA at 146.00. A decisive break will reveal the right price to enter a sell point at 146,800 today.
Conversely, if EUR/JPY recovers and confirms the 20-day EMA, it can move above the 148.60 mark. Once cleared, the next stop would be last year's high of 148.50, followed by the 150.50 figure. OANDA:EURJPY
