Monday 2022-01-10

First tradingday of the year!! I have been working alot on my mindset during the holiday. I have watched my favourite setups and i can clearly seperate the good setups from the ugly ones.
What i need to work on is not let the feer,greed and hope mess with that during live trading.
This break was very good for me. FORECAST AND PREP
 
NEWS Japanese bank holiday. Nothing red or orange.
D1 Wide range
H1 Slow bearchannel within a range
M5 bull channel from the open.
I have the range of the premarket to respect.
THOUGHTS AND TRADES
First candle on M1 clearly makes a doubbletop with the high of the premarket session.

I am now in waiting mode.
The market opened at 16000 today. Interesting. Thats a key number. A BRN.



Now the market is bearish. Still not climatic so i will watch for a pullback.

Bearish TC on M5. If there is a cute pullback this is a go.

Looks like aretest. Still dont have a signal.

A signal appears further down. I was not looking to trade down there. Now i will have to wait for a pullback/reset on M5 and then maybe trade in the
wave 5 to the downsidde if that happens.
Thoughts like ”should i have taken that one?” appears in my mind.

Yes i should have, IF i have taken the first pullback and that was successfull. If i have taken this as a first trade it would have been fomo.

So i made the right desiscion. "In hindsigt, i think i was too picky with the 2. But i am working hard to not take trade when its too late in the move."
But at the same time... I dont trade in hindsight.

2 strong bullish pinnbars on m5 with a double bottom. Range on M1.

Not a place to trade my edge.

I have had the chart zoomed for a while and when i have that nothing really looks climatic. Therefor i have this one now nut now everythings look climatic
It will just take a little time to get use to.

Overall i am now more objective.
And i will continue practice untill i am as objective as i can be. And when that happens i will continue.
I have to have this in my mind.
It is better to miss a winner if i am iffy than to take a shitty one and waste the risk on a ds0 rent. 
And as time continue there will be less good setup missed and more ds1´s. My goal is 80%.

I will NOT concentrate on money. I will become a better trader.

M5 Bull channel

Marking premarket rangeI dont want to trade inside the premarket area.




THOUGHTS AND TRADES

At 10:05 it managed to get out of the premarket area. Not really the move i was after, and followed by a pullback that it to large which indicates that the channel is continuing fron the morning.Its now in the premarket area again and i am not really looking for a trade here.
I will wait for my edge.

I feel alot calmer.

Its like i am back a year but with alot more knowledge and less confusion.

And i am liking it

11.01.2022_09.21.27_REC Tuesday pic 2.png

 Now i am waiting for a possible pullback or retest.
Pullback candle goes all the way through 10 ema…. And its gone. It was a fakeout.
 

11.01.2022_09.27.18_REC Tuesday Pic 3.png

  I became a little hopeful when i saw the range i had drawn was breaking, but i saw these levels as well. My hope almost made me miss them.

   NEO

Both Us indices are showing similar pattern.

They have both been moving down during the day and is now close to a supportlevel below.
Lets see what the open brings.

News at 16:00 so be aware of that. Nas is opening to the downside with a push down to the support area  below and i can see it struggeling.
Goes back to the open with a strong push.

I am waiting now for a clear move.Nas is pushing up with momentum after being rejected at the botton support.Goes down again and manages to push down through the support. I am on M1 for a signal now.

 

11.01.2022_15.46.39_REC tueasdau neo pic 2.png

 

Dow is pushng down with alot of momentum and goes through the support below.

First candle on M5 is a bearish TC. Will watch M1 for a pullback and continuation to the downside.

Signal with a filled one on dow, but around 50 pips so i passed on it.

FORECAST AND PREP

D1 Wide rangge
H1 bull channel within sideways market
M5 tight range  ( broken before the open though,
 
The high and low of the premarket.

If the premarket are is broken i will take a trade if the setup meets my criteria. AKA the four questions.
 
THOUGHTS AND TRADES
10:04 candle breaks the low of the premarket area. Now i am waiting for a signal.

 
Goes up and makes a retest and after that a push to the upside and i see it as gone but it reverses down again and gives a siganl with a
confirmationcandle. A little big in comperance to the move, but within the ds1 parameters so i have to take it.

it gyrarets and i am feeling it. I am managaing my trades completely auto. -1R, BE or 2R so i can just watch. My feelings are irrelevant.
 
It goes and moves sl to be and moves down towards the 2R target and i can say that i have some feelings of leaving money on the table. Not doing
anything with my feelings.
 
Ended be, all good.

My feelings.
I am looking or evidence of ”why the trade did not work”

the setup itself is good, its with no levels to the left. Its the first pullback after the emas got tangled (almost)
But i can also see that the move from the bottom of the range as a whole and when i do that i can see that my trade might be a little to much to ask for. 



i see this as a valid trade.  Its a impuls and a pullback vith a signal and after a tc on M5 that closed above the low to the left.

At the same time, based on the analysis above it could have been skipped.

As long as it stayes like this i have no interest in trading.

If there was a signal at the first place to go short i could have taken this as well but as i was not in in from the start i skipped that one.
Better safe than sorry.



I did well today. 
I am objective and it feels easy.
Alot of last year was me chasing the market and i was ofter feeling the need to trade to make money. I was in a hurry. 
I have now gained better perspective.
I just need to trade when my edge is there.
THERE IS NO NEED TO TRADE JUST TO TRADE.

Po triggered and i feel it a little. It is a countertrend trade even if it is below the 50 ema, but all is correct. there is room to the level below.
Its a calculated risk.

but i took the signal and my job is done!!

It get through the sl to be and then hits 2 R.

I can´t beleive how clear headed i am feeling. 
adding the 50 ema is working very well for me.
Now i have a solid plan and work process 
 

I will most probably not have time for neo today.

Weekly review is coming up on sundays as i need some time and perspective.


 

[eaxh]

This week have been good.

I can see it clearer now. I am more patient and i am able to be calm and wait for my setups. My objectivity is slowly growing and my fear is slowly getting smaller.

I am getting big help in marking high and lows and if they are cleared i can look for trades. If a setup comes before i can easily filter it.

I can see that my problem har not been discipline. It has been more of being confused because of the blurriness in my objectivity. 
Now that is clear i can work on trading my setups and also growing my probability mindset.

I am looking forward to the week ahead!

Lo starts with an impuls to the downside.

it stops at the support so not going to take a trade here unless its below the support.

It sets up and i am feelong fomo. Not doing anything about it, just aknowledge the feeling.
 

18.01.2022_09.11.08_REC Tuesday LO Pic 2.png

 
Immy took it and i had a little feeling of… hmm.. why did i not take it? Should i take setups like this?.



I just have to stick to my rules and my thoughts. And it was him who took a calculated risk.

18.01.2022_10.02.44_REC Tuesday pic 5.png

 
 
Went down to the low of 10th of nov and this move is consider done.
We had a beautiful move. Unfortunatley i did not get anything from it.
 

18.01.2022_10.12.45_REC Tuesday pic 6.png

 
 
Now in the end of the session i feel stupid i will admit.

The one i could have taken that is in line with my rules are the  filled 1 in the second pullback right after london open.
Its exactly this feeling that i have right now that have fecked it up alot of times last year.

There were times when i did like this, my superconservatine view and i did not see my choises today as in based of fear. More of i am supersure of my
signal and i will go with that.

Not loosen any rule or objectivity nad i will not take ”well i am not sure but lets see if i am lucky”- trades.

I want the trades to be A+ trades and with this ones this morning being right at levels, they are not.
 
I will end this session here.
