PREMARKET ROUTINE & THOUGHTS
- Morning routine of yoga and meditation done
- Not going to go into details, but feels like I’m getting too much negativity thrown at me this morning
- I am bringing positivity into the market and my trading 😊

Could have called an audible here off the bounce of pivot, confirmed by 161.8 Fib line, that we can see on a 30 min chart.
TRADING NOTES
08:58 – Volume is relatively high in this today’s premarket session in comparison to previous trading days
10:05 – Just realized I my mic was off when I was talking at 38:30 of the livestream, explaining the trade I took on Ninja Trader. Looking at the zone I marked on the chart. I took a trade long but quickly stopped out after a tiny bounce. Still have some things I need to get used to and be aware of, streaming with OBS.
10:10 – [THOUGHT] Technically, my strategy says switch to short plays, but I’m still seeing better opportunities long, even though it may not be the easiest thing to trade with all the new resistance.
10:14 – [HINDSIGHT CAPITAL] Missed an entry at 604 thanks to various distractions… Too many distractions today, especially with painting and dogs earlier.
10:29 – That trade had the direction right, just wrong time and not the best entry for my hard stop loss. One of the reasons I really prefer using price structure for placing stop loss over a hard point-based stop loss.
10:30 – [INSIGHT] The price structure stop loss typically comes with more risk but it would have worked out here. Hard point-based stop losses, you lose more often but the losses are defined and typically smaller. However, executing my entry correctly at the prime location makes the hard point-based stop loss more effective.
