Missed the Train – Aug 20, 2020
THE POWER IS WITHIN!
PREMARKET ROUTINE & THOUGHTS
- Premarket volume check was done at 09:22
- Yoga meditation mix done for about 15 mins
- Had a brief family time this morning before getting started
- Feeling good feeling great, how are you?
- READY?! SHIIIIT YEAA!!.. I’M READY!
Remember the setup DOES NOT have to be PERFECT.
TRADING NOTES
09:32 – Not a fan of that first 3 min candle. Sidelining for now… But nice bounce off 261.8% Fib line (screenshot)
09:37 – Bulls jumping out the gate super strong. Feel like I would have needed to be a permabull to catch it. But it’s not part of any of my setups or my plan so I have to sit and wait for my opportunity. Taking this time to check some headlines.
09:41 – Feel like this is a great day for a practice mode session. Will replay it either later on today or over the weekend.
09:46 – [HINDSIGHT CAPITAL] Would have made since to take an aggressive play, looking at the 1 min chart, on the pullback @ 315. #PowerRange
09:55 – [MESSAGE TO NQ] So we just gonna take off with no pullback huh?.. lol
10:01 – Entry possibility notes (screenshot)
10:03 – Stepping away from desk to get some tea. Safe place to take a break since I’m going to be waiting for a while for a good opportunity
10:13 – Eyeing zone 344 – 333…
10:26 – [HINDSIGHT CAPITAL] Could have been at least scalp play at 350 based on 3 min pivot created around 09:48
10:30 – Cutting off video recording here so I can start the process to upload to YouTube and the website. If a trade is place, will post results on Twitter and add screenshot to journal.
TRADE IT EASY!

NinjaTrader 8 Struggles – Aug 19, 2020
I AM GRATEFUL AND HIGHLY BLESSED! I AM FOCUSED!
PREMARKET ROUTINE & THOUGHTS
- Super quick yoga/meditation session – like 5 mins
- busy morning with wife’s 0830 time
- had to update maintenance about apartment issue last night
- running a little late to actually go live – past 0915 already so…
- LET’S GET IT! 😊
Remember the setup DOES NOT have to be PERFECT.
TRADING NOTES
10:06 – cancelled that order due to price action. It did what I wanted it to do before it pulled back to my entry short.
10:07 – Still working to get over the frustration of missing the trade earlier at 11400. Can’t get caught up in FOMO
10:09 – Horizontal line I drew there based on my fib extension lines
10:10 – Order place there by selling the bid waiting for the price to trade in a location where I would have had a stop limit order placed.. not my ideal way to trade. Stopped out
10:12 – 2 losses for the day. Done for the day as a result. However I just realized the mistake order I placed earlier on the DOM was in Sim mode so it didn’t affect my Leeloo account. Only 1 loss today in the Leeloo combine with 2 contracts for $-32
10:17 – NT8 Control panel visible
10:24 – At this time trying to figure out the DOM or a better way to trade.
10:28 – Sim order trying out the Order Ticket in NT8. Not going to work because it doesn’t have a section to use my ATM Strategy
10:30 – SIGNING OUT. TRADE IT EASY!
