Intra­day Tech­ni­cal Analysis

  • HTF
    • Define con­text
      • Where were the overnight highs and lows and PVA?
        • High    57.339
        • PVAH    56.725

      • Where is the LIS?
        • PVAH area
      • What didn’t happen?
        • We didn’t breach 1.0 SD and stayed well above indi­cat­ing high momen­tum behind the move although we are now at a HHTF tech lev­el pro­vid­ing resis­tance (for now)
      • Dialling in on opportunities
        • Is there a shift in value/excess migra­tion? What is the cur­rent mar­ket con­di­tion? Are we trend­ing, balancing/range bound? Where are we in the trend range axis?
          • HTF UT might be los­ing momen­tum and get ready for a short term reversal
  • TTF
    • What trade loca­tions among this struc­ture would l like to get involved in that will offer me the best R/R opportunities?
      • TTF200MABD
    • What has the Asian Ses­sion printed?
      • Lots of A/D lat­er­al moves fol­lowed by a drop to TTF200MA which but then liq­uid­i­ty seems to dry up with spread wide as 55

Trade Idea

  • Hypo 1 Short
    • TTF200MABD
    • Entry around 56.90
    • Tar­gets 56.60, 56.45
  • Hypo 2 Long

    • Entry around 56.60
    • Tar­gets 57.05, 57.25, 57.50
  • Hypo 3 Short
    • TTF50MACAR
    • Entry around 57.10
    • Tar­gets 56.80

My goals for the day (Dai­ly Report Card)

  • Define win­ning
    • Size up and have patience in only take 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
      • Pos­si­ble HHTF200MABO with TTF200MABO show­ing strength in move up, HTFUKC is not show­ing any sign of resis­tance yet
      • Drop down to TTF200MA pos­si­ble CAS or BD.
    • 16:35
      • TTFUKC still hold­ing up but seems like nei­ther bulls or bears are heav­i­ly fight­ing here
    • 17:05
      • Mar­ket hasn’t made a move yet but we are still above TTF200MA 
      • Rever­sal can­dle just above it
      • Spreads are still wide at 49
    • 17:35
      • PA dead above TTF200MA still
    • 18:05
      • Bounce off LTFLKC just below LTF200MA then PB to 200MA which coin­cides with bounce off TTF200MA after touch­ing 50MA briefly, poten­tial 50MA cross­ing 200MA 
    • 18:35
      • Move over HTF/TTF UKC could this be a HHTFBO?

  • Week­ly Goal
    • Size up and have patience in only take 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
      • Have not had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to take A/A+ setups for a bit now. Did well to stay patient and not try to go look for trades to take.

24.2110(test) HHTF200MABO1Hit tar­getcov­ered at pre­vi­ous swing highshould have wait­ed for a PB to big­ger tech lev­el before enter­ing like my 2nd positionreplay + write up in PB — this week­end I will cre­ate a bet­ter for­mat for track­ing these
4200(test) HHTF200MABO1scratchedthis was the sec­ond entry at PB after price dropped when I took the first posi­tion, when we hit my entry lev­el and I saw weak­ness I scratched it.--
  • On the 2nd trade I should have scratched the first posi­tion but in my mind I was think­ing that I was tak­ing off risk after I had added that one to the move. Then a long time noth­ing hap­pened and I took the 2nd one off.
  • How accu­rate was my assess­ment of mar­ket context?
    • Hypo 2 — 90%
      • Didn’t quite go low as much as I thought before revers­ing to con­tin­ue up
    • Real-time analy­sis
      • I did fair­ly well here keep­ing mar­ket con­text from HTF and HHTF in mind.
  • How well did I man­age my phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive states?
    • P: Good
    • E: Good
    • CS: Good
  • What’s one thing you learned today?
    • When we near a HHTF POI PA on the low­er time frames behaves dif­fer­ent­ly, spreads are wider
  • What’s one thing I need to do more often?
    • Focussing on probability
  • What’s one thing I need to do less often?
    • Don’t just look at the big­ger pic­ture when it comes to your process, the small­er tasks are an inte­gral part of how you mea­sure your progress through bet­ter effi­cien­cy and clar­i­ty in your process.
