    My goals for the day (Dai­ly Report Card)

    • Define win­ning
      • Dou­ble siz­ing but still have patience in only tak­ing A+ (TTF TC) and A (TTF NT) setups to build a track record to ana­lyze lat­er but be open to exper­i­ment with TTF R setups

    Read­ing the Tape

    • What is printing?
      • 16:05
        • Move to TTF UKC / HTFUKCCAR, pos­si­ble TTF R in effect, spread is wider (44), PA faster than normal 
      • 16:35
        • TTF A/R going on just below TTF200MA
      • 17:05
        • Messy PA @ below TTF200MA, there was a fake out first but look­ing like it still might drop although TTF R still in effect
      • 17:35
        • Still no drop but we’re still below TTF200MA in TTF R mode near­ing HTF50MA could be buy­ers com­ing in
      • 18:05
        • Not much going on yet. A/D still full in process just above HTF50MA
      • 18:35
        • Still noth­ing going on
      • 19:05
        • Still noth­ing going on

    ----------
    • How accu­rate was my assess­ment of mar­ket context?
      • Hypo 3 — 80%
        • Get­ting a bit bet­ter with the rota­tion­al hypos but still not there. 
      • Did well with real-time analy­sis. Noticed PA act­ing dif­fer­ent­ly so thought to be extra cautious.
    • How well did I man­age my phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive states?
      • Although a bit tired and not sharp I did well to not make any mis­takes trad­ing live. 
    • What’s one thing you learned today?
      • Mar­ket con­text is king.
    • What’s one thing I need to do more often?
      • Be patient for the A/A+ setups. Any­thing less is not worth it. 
    • What’s one thing I need to do less often?
      • Think I’m there. Be hum­ble and keep grinding.
