SUMMARY:
Called downtrend day wrong, should have waited for a few more bars. Overall, no big move, so I paid almost no attention to the market. The intra-day comments today were not useful at all...
NOTE:
It's a decisive breakdown of the morning low so I thought it might be a downtrend day (
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3087&p=259155#p259155). Well, it's wrong, I should've waited for a few more bars.
The bear's last hope was here (
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3087&p=259172#p259172), although by now it looked very likely a range day.
Consolidation instead of sharp pullback so I thought breakout was more likely (
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3087&p=259173#p259173).
No clear breakout till the close, but the pattern looks like a breakout is very likely which could mean a gap up tomorrow.
DISCLAIMER:
The trading log above is meant for myself only which main purpose is to help improving my market sense.
- My blah blah about how the market would go in the next dozens of minutes everyday in this forum, is a way to force me to focus on the market, because by speaking loud, if the prediction is wrong, I'd be embarrassed, which of course I'd like to avoid as much as possible.
- Day trading is not my strongest point. Just for the same pattern, it can repeat frequently on the 5 min chart while on daily chart it may take months to appear once and another month to know whether the idea of trading such a pattern is right or wrong THIS time, so practicing on the 5 min chart is a fastest way to learn to trade.
- Day trading inevitably would have good days and bad days, it's a part of the game. If I always have good days, it means I'm either lying or already the richest person in the world (then why I'm still trading?), so please don't blame me for making any bad calls. The log is for myself only, not meant to be followed.
