• How would you rate it (1–5)? 1 = don’t trade 2/3 =half posi­tion siz­ing 4/5 = full position
  • 4

Mar­ket Prep

  • Tomor­row
• EIA report
  • Wednes­day

Intra­day Tech­ni­cal Analysis

• HTF
  • Define con­text
    • Where were the overnight highs and lows and PVA?
      • High    57.951
      • PVAH    57.634
      • PPOC    57.379
      • PVAL    57.183
      • Low    56.646
    • Where is the LIS?
      • PPOC area
    • What didn’t happen?
      • We did not BO or CAR from HHTF200MA yet
    • 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 MO dying off PA with­in Upper KC walk­ing the 50MA

• TTF
  • What trade loca­tions among this struc­ture would l like to get involved in that will offer me the best R/R opportunities?
    • HTF50MACAS
  • What has the Asian Ses­sion printed?
    • Very nar­row PA form­ing a small tri­an­gle on TTF

Trade Idea (less clarity)

• Hypo 1 Long — weighed 7
  • TTF200MACAS
  • Entry around 57.50
  • Tar­gets
• Hypo 2 Short — weighed 4
  • TTF200MABD
    • Entry around 57.50
    • Tar­gets 57.05
• Hypo 3 Rota­tion­al 57.60 — 57.90

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.
