im done for the week

today was tough-er for me
i wanted to push the size a little ---- hence occasional adding
market is a bit different also ---- regular friday
but i feel like my trading was slightly "wishful"
i believe in playing many small games as the price moves
i dont believe in making crazy 80 tick calls ---- although sometimes you can
but in the end of the day (in scapling) you need to stay present and trade what you see AT THE MOMENT

look at this for example:



this was the one where i went in once
and then added
and then got out at BE

effectively i was really looking to break the low today
that was the plan
but due to increased size i got completely stuck in that mindset and ignored everything there is to the left
i knew the buyers were active
i knew where they were active
meanwhile i was like: i got 2 lots short and id like to see a 40 tick move now
so i didnt take the profit short ---- and didnt trade anything long
instead i generated myself some transaction costs and took a BE like a babypips trader lol
THE DATA IS IN: I ABSOLUTELY ATE MY OWN ARSE

i need to adress that issue
so from now on ill trade 1 contract OR 2 contracts
no adding ---- makes me feel like the price moving against me isnt all that bad

I can see going in at 2848.00 short on that second to last bar showing. I love how precise the futures charts are compared to forex.

great to see you Alias!

that quick ZL?
that would be sweet
they squeezed me a bit on that to be honest

and yes, it is percise
but surprisingly EUROFX is also
less liquid tho
sometimes you can piggyback some fat player with a 1 tick stop
if he holds the level it holds if not you're out
