Oct 3, 2018 – Green Frustration

Premarket Insight

Markets getting off to a slight bullish start, and according to headlines, Powell gets the credit for boosting confidence with his speech. Other than that, economic calendar showing somewhat of a busy day with ADP, PMI, and Crude Inventories in sight. Check Economic Outlook for details. NQ currently up 0.20% early in the Futures market session.

 

Volume check at 07:30 EST showing moderate strength. However, only 6EZ18 the only contract over 100K of volume with GCZ18 about 7K away from that mark. Not expecting much excitement from CL until after inventories report at 10:30 EST.

 

 

COB Recap

Another day of struggles in the morning session but the good thing is I was able to walk away with some profits today. Took a total of 6 trades, 5 in NQ and 1 in CL, for a total of $155 in the Topstep account. Also, took my first trade in my live account for the month for a $55 profit. Let’s hope this month gains some momentum sometime soon. Watch today’s recap below for details of my trades today.

Sep 27, 2018 – Runaway Bulls

So, I ended up missing the strong bull move out the gate. The 5 min wick threw me off, showing indecision and I decided to wait for some pullback that I never got. After watching the paint dry for a while, strategy showed an entry that I took for a small scalp. Could have held it longer but by the design of my strategy, would have only gained an extra $5 so no big deal getting out when I did. Somewhat of a frustrating day, but better than losing money.

Sep 26, 2018 – Small Gains

I did more paper trading in Sierra Chart today due to not expecting much strength leading up to 14:00 Fed events. Ended up crushing it, taking $530 before 11:10 ET. Good practice. No live trades taken yet, planning to trade the 14:00 time depending on how the market responds to the news.

 

Took a few trades in the Topstep Combine account and ended up scalping my way to a small green day. Over-managed the last play before deciding to make that my last play, climbing my way back to green for the day.

 

Check out the recap video below for details of how those trades unfolded.
