just one short

this was the only entry i did today, probably the last time with small position of two contracts only. 

from tomorrow i will start with 6 again because with 2 it is like a demo version

later in the evening

on friday, later in the evening, there was this situation that offered a good short setup for nq nasdaq. this is 30 minutes timeframe that i use for a long term planing if necessary.

from all the four markets, only nasdaq broke the daily low, the other three did not. it creates a pressure buying, because nasdaq looks to be cheaper and dis-correlated.

i was waiting for an orderflow timing to jump into short trade and speculate against these buyers who were trapped. this is the closed trade

this was the second trade on friday. the first trade was a loss at 9:00 - i did not notice there was a report at 9:00 and took long one minute before it.

as soon as i opened the long position, the price dropped, so i had closed 200 usd loss. it was one of the quickest loss ever.

my mistake to open the trade right before the announcement report.

daily result is here.

still volatile, but readable

the volatility in us indexes is still high but the market seemed a little bit more readable today. there was an intermarket scheme that i know as a good setup for long entry.

it happened in nasdaq some 15 minutes after open. i took a long trade right here. as you can see, i went into a little drawdown, because the volatility is still very high, i am not able to catch the reversal very precisely

i am opening only two contracts to eliminate the risk. i hit both the targets. the first one was closed here, making it a risk-free trade, the other was after the breaking of the daily high.

the second trade today was dow jones short after an orderflow gradation with confirmation of low heat entry.

both of the targets were closed at the level of fist one. i had a feeling that today the price will go up so taking shorts was not the most comfortable.

the result is 650 today is enought, i did not want expose to it any longer

crawly lazy price

today´s e-mini markets were crawly, lazy and boring. the session started with a good tempo but quickly became really slow and tedious. the candlesticks were overlapping one another which is always a sign of an untradable market.

within the first hour, i haven´t seen any opportunity for opening a trade. i stayed a little bit longer and took this short on e-mini dow

this is the kind of entry that is more speculative and riskier. at first, i opened only three contracts and compensated to the full position a little bit higher.

anyway, only one part of the position (4 contracts out of 6) filled the target, the other half ended up at stop loss.

+100 usd today is a poor result for such a long time.

friday late afternoon short

speculation on the reverze into the value area of the last three days..

the chart above shows a tiny intermarket divergence - ym is lower, compared to other 3 markets that broke their highs, thus i am speculating that ym WILL NOT break.

and it didnt..
