I suppose I have been overlooking a very useful tool, round number levels and XX75 level (there are probably more but I'm not willing to use others). I never paid attention to these levels before, to my own disadvantage it seems. I know this is part of other systems and most people probably use these, but I've never paid attention to what the actual price was at.

So, I could trade like I did today, up and down and trying to catch too many moves, as usual, or held my first trade @ LVT and HV zone, with a 5 tick stop for over 40. Finding good trades is the easiest part of trading, staying with a trade and managing it is much more difficult.

I still made ticks but I'd like to get my trading down to 1 or 2 trades a day.
Edit: This doesn't look very good for a fall. I'd expect a bigger stop run at this level anyway, not a little 3m one. I'm flat for the day. Ended +51.

Experimenting with using Microsoft Word or OneNote for a journal instead of FF. This seems a bit easier for organization, not sure yet. No commentary anymore unless I need to have it to remember some explicit idea that I can't see in a picture I upload.
