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)

2 Pre-mar­ket routines

1 Ses­sion PECS

1 Clar­i­ty — in tune with price

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

• Failed Auc­tion with C clos­ing with­in IB
• Went short as per Hypo 1
• this was the wrong call. The bet­ter hypo was hypo 3

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

• D closed below VAL and then extend­ed IB to the down­side in E and closed near it’s low
• F closed as an Inside bar and I went in for a pos­si­ble con­tin­u­a­tion as there was no pull­back to IB low
• When I saw there was con­tin­u­a­tion and the play was to the long side I cut my loss­es and quick­ly reversed. This luci­ly hit the tar­get sav­ing some of my day.

Did I take advan­tage of any opportunities?

• DAX
  • Short as per hypo 1
  • Got stopped out ‑1R
• Gold
  • Risky short as per hypo 3
  • Exit­ed the trade for ‑0.8R
  • Then reversed the trade and trade hit 1.2R
  • Down on the day ‑0.6R

Things I did well:

• Revers­ing the trade on Gold was well Golden 🙂

Things I need to keep work­ing on:

• Don’t lis­ten to upbeat music when trad­ing. It makes me too hyper and I’m sit­ting here as some kind of DJ eager to press some buttons. 
• I failed to plot the new D1 demand on my chart in the begin­ning oth­er­wise I would’ve noticed it coin­cid­ed with VAH.
• I went short with not much of a prof­it tar­get = no good trade
• Will review heav­i­ly tomor­row. No trad­ing tomor­row as the mar­kets are closed so can focus more on this.
