Another scratch day....So strange this game we play. So much of what we do it not mechanical or rules driven but instead is emotional or mental. Our rational self knows what to do and yet the monkey brain interferes so often it feels as though the monkey brain is our true self. Still, doing the right thing is the only way to make money and so the pursuit of rational trading continues.
I left money on the table with the last trade. Quite a lot of it actually but I had no premise below the LOD which meant I exited that last trade a few ticks before the support area. That orange line is yesterday's 50% level. So far, quite a bit of support there over multiple attempts so reasonable to exit there.
Time to pack it in. I'm having coffee with my last surviving uncle on my mom's side of the family. He and my father were quite close and he called yesterday and wanted to chat. I suspect he's missing my dad pretty bad. Anyway, looking forward to seeing him again.

Zerohedge is mostly garbage but it does explain some of the crude oil spikes pretty well imho. Haven't found a better, free, more real-time source for oil news.
ReplyDeleteThis stop running thing seems to be SOP. Almost required for all reversals.
ReplyDeleteGood example.
