01/17/2019 Market Recap
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2019 5:07 pm
Renewed up strength today so still some up rooms before a pullback of some kind?
Should be a range day but it kept up and up and even a sudden strong breakout which faded very quickly, so no complain I couldn't identify the day, even I should be happy for not publicly calling range day.
NOTE:
Sudden breakout, I certainly was unable to see that coming (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3263&p=264347#p264347). No complain for not making any money today.
The close wasn't bad but not good enough for me to draw any conclusions for tomorrow.
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.
