Time is west coast.
Have to go work on 9 am so will try to close trade after 8:30 am.

Today 3 trades:
7:16 short 1572.25, 7:44 cover 1574.25 -2.5
8:01 short 1574, 8:10 cover 1572.75 +1.25
8:20 long 1572.25 8:40 sell 1574 +1.75
+0.5P

Review:
trade1: entry: too eager to get in, should wait for closer to down trend line/upper range.
exit: fail to protect profit and let it stopped out as loser. Believing low will be retest and fail to find opportunity to get out near break even when the trade not going well.

Trade 2: ok to take small profit to recover from lose.

trade 3 : ok, there is some opportunity to take profit at high but did not seize it. Believe the strong up leg will have 2 legs but not the case in bear/range day.

Thanks a lot for sharing! Is it possible to zoom in to your trading hours to see the chart better? Are you using candle trend option in TOS?

老猫，明天俺来给你助威如何？

Click on the picture can zoom up. I guess the candle is small because the big range today. I am using TOS as trade platform with 2000 tick candle chart
西安, let's do this together.

我现在是bull bias, 1570会有点阻力。

are you talking about Es or spx?

azure4068

ES， JUN

这里很可能掉下去，如果没有，今天就bull day 了

azure4068

实践证明是假摔，跌到1562.5后，暴力反弹了。high of day收场应该

最终1570出收场。。。明天看戏。如果跳空高开，熊熊又被牛牛调戏了。 我觉得应该再次探底至少。

review:
Trade 1 : enter market expect upside break out so I buy at low of the early range. The market does break on the upside later in the day but it break down first.
exit quickly after the range break down.
Trade 2:
When the market really break out to the upside , I did not believe since the early break down confused me and think it is expand triangle. Did not feel well after enter and exit almost at break even. Leave for work after that trade.

Even I have the right hunch about upside break out, I was confused as it break down first . The market does the expect thing in unexpected way and I have to get used to it.
On the positive side , the lose is small and risk is well controlled when I did not read the market correctly.

我试过 Al Brooks 的 PriceAction 的 setup, 但总觉得不太好把握, 在不该 Long 的时候去看 Long 的机会,
相反, 在不该short 的时候去找 Short 的机会.

去年 年底, 在看了2 年 Al Brooks 网站上的 5-minutes ES charts 后发现, 对 TightTradingRange 和 B.W 区
冲出时, 都是先出, 后回抽, 再冲出,  突然想起 在1 年前 翻 过 但扔到一边 的 缠论,
目前一直在研究, 和非常小的量在 练 节奏和思考方法,  觉得 缠论 争对 AlBrooks 的方法, 可以当作一根丝线
将 Al Brooks 的 Setup 串起来, 能从 根本,去判断 setup 是否成功.

H2,L2,  MS2  MH2, 为何有时灵,有时不灵.
H1,L1,  为何力量大,
以及 Perfect Reversal Bar 为何那样,都能在 缠 论 中找到理由 去解释,

当然缠论 自成体系,  我还是初学 , 还不太好把握.

今天 ES 1 分钟图:

果然低开了，如果低走就完成了2次探底的目标，然后会是怎么样再说，熊熊期盼lower lower,牛牛期盼higher low....

日线图上这个2bar reversal太明显了，所以熊熊有没有这么强的力量还真不好说。。。还是DT为主吧。

al brook的书必须结合至少3年的DT经验才能融会贯通，当然这3年的学费也是不菲。

西安是1分钟的高手，问问他吧。感觉每一次实验新方法都会交学费。所以目前只是在做最把握的几个setup.而且上班族，比较适合大一点的图，1分钟肯定不合适。
