      • 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?
          • We are in a HTF DT

  • Week­ly Goal
    • Only take A+ (TTF TC) and A (TTF NT) setups to build a track record to ana­lyze later
  • Review
    • Took 1 set­up but saw that it wasn’t going my way and scratched the position
    • Then there was an oppor­tu­ni­ty to take an exper­i­men­tal trade on my 2nd account but I missed it. I was too involved with tak­ing notes of the rela­tion of mar­ket struc­ture to the exper­i­men­tal set­up. Also it didn’t help that I was feel­ing drowsy at best.

  • How accu­rate was my assess­ment of mar­ket context?
    • Hypo 1 played out 100% 
  • How well did I man­age my phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive states?
    • Phys­i­cal­ly I was not sharp at all. I think it was because I ate more than I usu­al­ly do and that’s what sent me into a food-coma state. I will not do that again. Regard­less, I usu­al­ly make mis­takes when I am feel­ing unfo­cused and I did not this time so I’m hap­py about that. 
  • What’s one thing you learned today?
    • Already knew this but got con­firmed once more, that my setups hap­pen on all time frames which the sci­en­tist in me finds very inter­est­ing as well as pleasing.
  • What’s one thing I need to do more often?
    • Focus on under­stand­ing mar­ket struc­ture and trade ‘with it’ or learn from it to add to my Play­book. Add. Back­test. Test. Ana­lyze. Learn. Get con­sis­tent. Size up. Test. Ana­lyze. Learn. Get con­sis­tent. Buy Lamborghini 🙂
  • What’s one thing I need to do less often?
    • Don’t trade off the short-term time frame. That is not where the big­ger moves are but only good for scalp­ing. Which can be VERY RISKY so don’t. Just keep focussing on mar­ket struc­ture as your guide.
