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

1 Clar­i­ty — in tune with price

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

• M30 DBD extend­ed slight­ly down in C but clos­ing with­in IBR
• D made a LL. I expect­ed some push­back first to get a bet­ter entry price but it seems I might have missed the trade. I was also think­ing that I have seen before a sim­i­lar move fail­ing to sus­tain the auc­tion. Let’s see what prints
• Price is slow­ly tak­ing out the gap from Mon­day open
• D closed low­er, then E closed as an inside bar (ham­mer) poten­tial for continuation
• F retraced to IB Low and M15 closed with­in, could be a 2nd DTTZ quick oppor­tunis­tic move before a pos­si­ble sus­tained auction
• I tried to go long when M15 test­ed new­ly formed demand but FX syn­er­gy gave me an error mes­sage ”Invalid Price” so I did not get in. Annoyed. Gonna sit the rest of the ses­sion out as I also seem to lack clar­i­ty in the unfold­ing narrative.

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

• C extend­ed slight­ly below IBR but then closed high­er as a consolidation
• Con­sol­i­da­tion continued
• F tried to duck below but closed with­in IBR again

Did I take advan­tage of any opportunities?

• DAX
  • I let the exten­sion to the down­side go as I was doubt­ing the trade. In hind­sight I was proven right. 
  • When I tried to go long FX syn­er­gy stopped me from enter­ing on a trade.
• Gold
  • There was no good oppor­tu­ni­ty in Gold
  • Although when Dax popped high­er I looked to per­haps go short on Gold but it had moved away from entry already. 
  • No trades today. Which is okay.
