      • I feel good although feel­ing a lit­tle lack of ener­gy somehow.
    • How would you rate it (1–5)? 1/2 = don’t trade 3= quar­ter posi­tion 1st 12 2nd 2, 4= half posi­tion = 1st 25 2nd 5, 5= full posi­tion = 1st 50 2nd 10
      • 4= half posi­tion = 1st 25 2nd 5

    Mar­ket Prep

    Intra­day Tech­ni­cal Analysis

    • HHTF
      • What is the mar­ket narrative?
        • Drop to Dai­ly sup­port lev­el with imme­di­ate bounce back
    • HTF
      • Lev­els
        • Prev. High 53.733
        • PVAH 53.733
        • PPOC 53.461
        • PVAL 51.394
        • Prev. Low 50.468
      • What is the mar­ket nar­ra­tive and bias?
        • Yes­ter­day there was a D TC that got pushed back hard and now we’re trad­ing back in KC with small PA cross­ing the 50MA with­out any inter­ac­tion. Lack of clar­i­ty here on the narrative.
    • TTF
      • Does the Asian ses­sion show clues that align with mar­ket narrative?
        • PA is trad­ing high in KC slop­ing up with small PA, the small PA is kin­da mak­ing me think we will have a counter-move but will need to wait for confirmation

    Trade Idea (lack of clarity)

    • Hypo 1 Long
      • HTF R 50MABO+PB
      • Entry around 52.65
      • Tar­gets 53.05, 53.45
    • Hypo 2 Short
      • HTF UKCCAR
      • Entry around 52.90
      • Tar­gets 52.40, 51.80
    • Hypo 3 Rotational
      • 51.90–52.80

    My goals for the day (Dai­ly Report Card)

    • Define win­ning
      • Only trade A/A+ trade ideas
      • For­ward test exper­i­men­tal trades

    Read­ing the Tape

    • What is printing? 
      • 15:05
        • HTF
          • What is the mar­ket narrative?
            • WE had a D TT yes­ter­day that looks exhaust­ed and small PA slop­ing up not inter­act­ing with 50MA, some­thing is up. VWAP is pos­si­ble cross­ing over 50MA and PA is about to touch it
        • TTF
          • TTF rolling over into R
        • Bias
          • Unclear at the moment
        • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
          • What set­up am I going to stalk?
            • None ATM
      • 15:35
        • HTF
          • What is the mar­ket narrative?
            • Pos­si­ble HTF50MABD
        • TTF
          • TTF made a move below LKC, Over­sold ter­ri­to­ry, no signs of con­tin­u­a­tion just yet
        • Bias
          • Slight­ly short but need more confirmation
        • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
          • What set­up am I going to stalk?
            • None ATM
      • 16:35
        • HTF
          • What is the mar­ket narrative?
            • Still same
      • 17:35
        • HTF
          • What is the mar­ket narrative?
            • Same
        • TTF
          • Bounces below 50MA could be worth research­ing to see if there’s an edge
        • Bias
          • Short but not going to trade on it. Just sit­ting back and log­ging mar­ket structure
        • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
          • What set­up am I going to stalk?

    • What’s one thing you learned today?
      • That I am com­ing to grips with the way my approach works.
    • Positive(s)
      • I only took one scalp because I saw an oppor­tu­ni­ty and I took it. I nor­mal­ly don’t do this. 
      • I stayed away from tak­ing a direc­tion­al posi­tion because I it was a new mar­ket nar­ra­tive that I was not too famil­iar with. 
      • I logged the details of the ses­sion into my PB
