News came out and PA started moving fast. Wanted to get in earlier but couldn't find a spot to jump in. Finally there was some consolidation and I was able to ride that until it broke the previous high.

Was absolutely tilted after breaking my rules so I stepped away from the computer for 30 minutes to refocus. Came back pretty strong with some solid trades. On the last two trades I should have moved my TP to 25 ticks because we were in a range but ...

Went back to a STP of 25 ticks and TP of 50 ticks because that's what I seem to be best at. Mostly BE until the last trade where I doubled my stop because I got too confident in my trade. STUPID MISTAKE

I got inspired by Rocky's old OFA posts that's why I took so many seemingly random trades. It hold a huge amount of value.

As far as the new strategy goes it was a pretty crappy day. There were two trades that were just barely outside of my parameters so the alarm didn't go off. :/ However, my one discretionary trade at the very end saved me from having another 3.00p ...

Over the weekend I got a little inspired and stated to develop a fully mechanical system with the hopes of taking out the discretionary part as much as possible. Today was the first forward test and it turned out decent. Even though it is ...

Ahh, well the CFD should be fine as long as you are not trying to scalp but I definitely wouldn't stay longer than you need too. Getting setup is the hardest part but once you do I promise you wont look back.

No trades today. Was just messing around with different settings and such on NQ. Also, with finals coming up soon I'm spread thin with time so I probably will only be trading the first hour of NQ like Harold in the "Plan the trade" thread.

The last ABCD should have been set up like this. Also, I should enter on the very last tick of the ABCD instead of trying to front run it.

Analysis. 1. A possible 123 setup, but price shot through my entry and when it crawled back I got our for a smaller loss. 2. ABCD completion 3. ABCD completion, possibly drew it in the wrong spot though.

Bit of a rut lately. :/ Possibly could have climbed back to positive but didn't have a lot of time to trade today. Not sure if I like the 15 STP but at least today it saved me. 3 Losses (-35) Commissions (-3) Net (-38)

Analysis 1. 123 setup 2. Looked like a descending wedge and tried to predict the bottom. 3. Breakout trade 4. Badly drawn ABCD, got in too soon 5. Broke rules and attempted to re-enter on the ABCD 6-8. ?????? Was frustrated and started overtrading. ...

Super trendy days like this are hard for me. Volatility is also slowing down so I switched to a TP of 30 STP of 15 and BE at 12. Main takeaway from this session is I just need to let the price go to my TP and not TP to early. 2 Wins (+42) 4 Losses ...

Analysis 1. Took an ABCD completion 2. Took a 123 setup 3. Random breakout trade to get flat for the day.
