Jun 25, 2018 – Thank God it’s Monday #TGIM

Premarket Insight

Had a great weekend enjoying time with my wife but still managed to squeeze in some studying time in preparation for the week.

Nasdaq starting the week pretty interesting with decent volume on some relatively heavy selloff, already down 0.88%. Volume looks pretty good across the board for the rest of my watchlist as well.

Only thing on the calendar today is New Home Sales report at 10:00 EST. However, should be an interesting week with “Trade War” news, U.S. Q1 GDP report to be released Thursday, and U.S. PCE Inflation Data on Friday.

 

At the Bell

In the premarket, was able to catch to plays off CL, one small win and another moderate win giving me a nice cushion for the market hour plays.

In the first 10 minutes, the bears continued pushing the market south. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some bullish action or choppiness at least through lunch at this point. Volume looking strong, with NQ already surpassing the 100k mark.

 

COB Recap

Well, I completed misjudged that first hour after the bell. Then I got distracted with things outside of trading, so I missed the move I’ve been waiting weeks for… Frustration is an understatement.

Jun 21, 2018 – Supreme Taxation

Premarket Insight

Got to my desk late today, been a busy day. Upon logging in noticed there’s been a ton of action in the aftermarket. Only thing on the calendar today is Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing at 08:30 which I’m not expecting to have much of an effect on the market.

 

At the Bell

Took two small winners in the premarket. See my click the image below for access to my Tradervue profile to see the details of those plays.

NQ had an expected dip in the after-hours leading to this bullish pop continuation at the bell. Not long after price dropped hard blowing past previous support.

 

COB Recap

Finally! Ended the day early with a decent green day. Could have been more but not complaining. All the previous days of struggling finally paid off as this has been the best I’ve ever played the market.

Jun 20, 2018 – Down But Not Out

Premarket Insight

Normal plan for today, play GC and CL in the premarket, NQ after the bell. Nothing exciting going on this morning. Everything seems to be just business as usual.

On the calendar today is some Fed news right at the bell, should be a very interesting open. Have to make sure I stay disciplined to my 10 min rule even though it went against me yesterday. Also, not as exciting IMO, Existing Home Sales at 10:00 EST.

 

At the Bell

Had a easy, quick play on CL in the premarket, however GC ate up all of that profit chopping around. On the 1st play got filled in on nasty wick before it proceeded to march back to my stop. In hindsight, probably should have just closed the trade when I saw the wick since I pretty much felt it was going to be a loser.

NQ continued a slow bullish climb into the open before bouncing around a bit at the bell for a nice bull pop that could have given me a scalp. 10-minute rule got me again but I’m sticking with the rule looking at the big picture.

 

COB Recap

Somehow, I completely forgot about the 10:00 EST news which made sense why the market had no energy. Tons of indecision.

Welp! Took another beating from the market today. But I’m down, not out. Actually, got some good insight from the chatroom I’m a member of (RealLifeTrading) that was pretty much to do the opposite of my normal strategy on super choppy days like this. I reviewed the market with that insight and it was on point!  A major difference between an up/down red day and a green day with ease.

Good thing I had that win with CL earlier to ease the pain a little. I will give the market the victory today and live to fight (trade) another day. Tomorrow. ?
