My goals for the day (Dai­ly Report Card)

  • Define win­ning
    • 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 on 2nd account

Read­ing the Tape

  • What is printing? 
    • 16:35
      • TTF Over­bought into TTFLKCCAS
    • 17:05
      • TTF R in effect seem to have reject­ed TTF200MA, wait­ing for a TTF R U NT opportunity
    • 17:35
      • TTF R still in effect, fail­ure to make HL with­in KC 50MA hold­ing as resistance.
    • 18:05
      • TTF R still in effect, fail­ure to make HL with­in KC 50MA hold­ing as resistance.
    • 18:35
      • Pos­si­ble TTF R 50MA BOand LTF200MABO
    • 19:05
      • Anoth­er test of TTF200MA pos­si­ble rejec­tion or BD
    • 19:35
      • Pos­si­ble TTF R 200MABD but PA is very slug­gish so could just be a fake.
