A small sum­ma­ry of how I did dur­ing the ses­sion. Things I did well. Things I need to keep work­ing on. Trade Reviews are part of my post-mortem but usu­al­ly I post those the next day.

My week­ly goals: 

• Trad­ing rules
  • Use SL scal­ing in case the prof­it tar­get for the set­up doesn’t pro­vide 2R for exam­ple for FA or VAA setups
  • No ear­ly exits, either hit SL or target

1–3 (3 being good)

3 Pre-mar­ket routines

1 Ses­sion PECS

3 Clar­i­ty — in tune with price

DAX — What Mar­ket Nar­ra­tive Played Out? (Keep it short!)

• Val­ue got accept­ed and rotat­ed through extend­ing IB down
• D closed as an Inside Bar and E pro­ceed­ed to make LL
• Look­ing like a sus­tained auc­tion which was to be expect­ed after the rotation

Gold — What Mar­ket Nar­ra­tive Played Out? (Keep it short!)

• IB extend­ed up and C closed above VAH
• Entered long on a pull­back to VAH
• D made a HH but M15 did not close con­fi­dent­ly at its high so took the trade off at 0.4R
• Grasshop­pered. Even though I did wait for the M15 can­dle close. Price even­tu­al­ly formed a M15 Bear Engulf which would’ve scratched the trade (-0.1R). But then price extend­ed high­er form­ing a M30 RBR even­tu­al­ly hit­ting 2R.

Did I take advan­tage of any opportunities?

• DAX
  • I did not on the ini­tial exten­sion down as M30 had not closed with­in Val­ue dur­ing B. Dur­ing C M15 did close with­in val­ue and saw a rota­tion and exten­sion fur­ther exhaust­ing ASR.
  • Price saw a quick pull­back dur­ing 2nd DTTZ but as I was in call I did not act on it. F TPO close would not have yield­ed much of a return. 

• Gold
  • C TPO closed above and I went long on a pull­back dur­ing D TPO. I cut the trade too soon and even though I wait­ed for a M15 close before clos­ing the trade I did not have a good exit sig­nal. Trade even­tu­al­ly went to 2R. I will review this tomorrow.
