My goals for the day (Dai­ly Report Card)

  • Define win­ning
    • Only take A+ (TTF TC) and A (TTF NT) setups to build a track record for one month (min­i­mum 30) trades) to ana­lyze later

Read­ing the Tape

  • What is printing? 
    • 16:05
      • Many dojis at TTF UKC just above TTF200MA pos­si­ble A/D? Price is also very sluggish.
    • 16:35
      • TTF50MAPB (which is also HTF50MA and we are still more like­ly to con­tin­ue UT unless we BD here)
    • 17:05
      • Still a lot of A/D bars on TTF but we might be look­ing to have a HTF50MACAS, any­way TTF R still in effect
    • 17:35
      • We moved over TTF VWAP and then made a PB pos­si­ble BO accord­ing to TTF R set­up but have not tak­en it
      • Pos­si­ble HTF UKC Rever­sal to start a HTF R again
    • 18:05
      • HHTF200MABO pos­si­bly
      • Still many doji can­dles (is this indica­tive of the HHTFBO?
    • 18:35
      • A move over HTF UKC but price still very slow. This is prob­a­bly a BO. will take note of this for my TTF R trade idea.
    • 19:05
      • Exper­i­men­tal trade: TTF TC over UKC after TTF R

      • Review
        • I took one TTF TC trade and quick­ly cov­ered when I real­ized this was going to be anoth­er TTF R day so after­wards I just sat here tak­ing notes like the sci­en­tist I am 🙂 
        • Took an exper­i­men­tal trade on 2nd account and cov­ered that quick­ly as well when I saw price retrac­ing more than I liked (cross over MA). 
        • I didn’t have time to do my mar­ket prep so kin­da rushed through it when I sat down to trade.
