short nq, short ym.. and again..

two trades right after the open.

the first one was here as a speculation for a breakdown. the entry was quite aggressive and the risk of the trade was not properly calculated before triggering.

 i assumed the price would slide down really quickly, but it did not happen. it wen up so here i closed the trade in a loss of cca 250 usd

good point on this trade was that i jump out really quickly, without any hesitation. these are situations that need to reverse immediately and if they dont, i get out.

another trade was one or two minutes after the first one.

here i am short at dow jones - opening 4 contracts as well as in the previous one but the last on was not filled. i assumed the price should not go above high where i would close the whole position

 here is the exit. in fixed trade management. with only three contracts cca +250 so i zeroed out the previous loss.

 these are two examples of a very strict risk/trade management. i play any russian roulette here. i only execute, without any emotion

here i was ready to open aanother short at ym again, but i waited the price to tick little bit higher so that i could place my stoploss into the safe area above high easily..

yet, it did not go any higher, so the drop was without me...

hmm.. bad luck

as i said yesterday, today i planned to trade with a bigger possition of 6 contracts but was little bit unlucky, because i did not get the fill of all the 6

here i was clicking to take short, on a nice orderflow exhaustion of buyers. it was quite clear that the price does not have enough power to move so i was not hesitating..

but the price slid down really quickly and filled only 2 contracts out of 6.

first contract was closed on target within a couple of seconds to make risk free trade as usual, the other one let little bit further on a volatile target.

it was quite a nice catch of the local high with absolutely precise timing entry and virtually no drawdown

feelling really unlucky for not being filled with all the 6. it could have been a nice profit

today..

nq was in a good setup for buying.

at first i tried with two contracts i but i hit only one target and the second one ended up on stoploss - very precise.. after i was stopped out, the price went up.

the second trade was a mistake, i was able to open only 1 contract so i closed it on be. 

the last trade was a good one. long after the sellers' exhaustion. a good timing entry.. 

result 500 usd

and yeah, it still moves up. today it was quite observable that nq will rise.

also on depth of market we could see bigger quotting limits on sell side being eaten by agressive market orders. this is a good environment for a bigger player to buy without slips

it looks amazing..

yeah. the markets were falling today, the volatility was doubled compared to a normal state so that the risk and reward had to be doubled too and the opened position had to be halved.

currently, i trade smaller positions, so i opened only two contracts right here

the timing entry of this trade later in the afternoon was based on the tick-nyse indicator. the first part of the position was closed in the profit, the other part (which i meant to close quite far) ended up at stoploss.

it looks amazing, doesn´t it?

one long trade after one long hour

today i took only one trade on nasdaq 100. it was long, and i had to wait for it for almost one hour.

the session started in quite a fast tempo, and i expected to get a trade signal quickly. increased volatility should offer some signals to jump in, but it was not the case today.

the market auction was not readable and i could not find a low risk entry for oppening a trade.

finaly, i found this situation.

due to increased volatility i opened only half of my normal six-contracts position, prepared to compensate up to six in case the price will move against me to the level of stoploss while still holding the edge of the entry..

unfortunately, it did not happen, the price oscillated little bit back, but not enough to add to the position.

here is the exit

i mean, this looks like a small trade in the picture of the whole intraday session, but it is +450 usd. with three contracts it is not bad.

the exit was executed according to fixed (but due to increased volatility expanded) trade management.

against late sellers

this trade is a model situation where i take long against late sellers.

the pattern is pretty clear - all the markets are running down, nasdaq 100 is little bit higher so the general public sees it as a "good opportunity" for selling.

but the general public is most of the time wrong.

the price retreats against them at least till the area where i can close my first target and make a risk free position..
