Notes

DAX


How well did I man­age my phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive states?

I was lack­ing focus a bit. Still haven’t ful­ly recovered. 

What did I learn today?

If price fails to close with­in val­ue it is a fur­ther indi­ca­tion of price want­i­ng to bounce from said val­ue. Of course if it fits the over­all narrative. 

What’s one (or more) thing(s) I need to do more often?

Be patient and keep com­ing back to ‘play’

What’s one (or more) thing(s) I need to do less often?

Wor­ry about get­ting trades in

Under the cir­cum­stances, did I per­form at my best?

I could have been more focused. I’ve been a bit out of it. I slept a lot last night but I still feel a bit off. If I was focused I could have noticed the PA around val­ue edge and per­haps even tak­en the trade. But I would have at least have stalked the trade and if I then would have tak­en it or not is anoth­er mat­ter. But I didn’t even notice the trade ful­ly even though it was Hypo 2. I did notice me being off so per­haps uncon­scious­ly I was telling myself to take it easy.
