YM Analysis

Intraday - NSL

- Price made a weak NSH or 100% correction of the main swing. So unreasonable for price to make a NSH
- Good strong candles from the bears. Great momentum while making that correction
- Price at the area where the bulls have defended before
- Will wait to see when the market opens.

I got my first end of day brokerage statement this morning and had a question or two that you folks can probably answer.

I had 3 single contract trades on YM yesterday and this is a breakdown of my commissions and fees:

Commission: $5.70
Clearing Fee: $6.96
Routing Fee: $0.60
NFA Fee: $0.12
Total: $13.38

The commission is a little off as I bought the brokerage software and should be getting a discount. I fired off an email this morning on that.

For the other fees, I remember Damian mentioning that some fees can be negotiated and I'm wondering which ones might be subject to change by request. Obviously I can't do this until I prove that I'm going to give them consistent business but if this experiment works out in my favor I would like to know where I might be able to cut overhead expenses in the long run.

Thanks!
Brent

Indeed to see other instruments as well, really puts a lot of things in perspective. Also with the order flow expecation and failures, what the actual expectation failure rates are and such, really great lesson!

Hello. The only fee you can negotiate is the commission. The rest are fixed fees. you are paying 4.46 per contract round turn which is a bit high I pay 3.42 per contract round turn.

USDJPY 58 tick chart
A bit risky short.
Expectation NSL although in the longer term expectation was NSH and price already got to the 78.6% of the longer term correction.
Still took it as I had great R:R with an entry from the golden zone. Traded 40K lotsize.

Against the rules, but I started trailing very aggressively when reaching structure. Because there was a lot of buying in the zone and I didn't want to give it all back. I had almost 1:2 R:R so I trailed very closely. In hindsight it seems like a good decision. For THIS trade. I know.. slippery slope.. Will not do it every trade.
EDIT: I forgot, what also made me decide to trail is that a 1:1 harmonic was accomplished.

There was a USD medium impact news event but I stood through it.
I can act all cool about it but I died several times during this trade.
Still work to be done on the emotional part I guess.
But I did not push the button! Although I must admit I touched it several times
I heard Mr. Pip's voice in my head:
"Notice I do not react emotionally. It's a big bull candle yes. Do I like it? No. Do I need to change my game because of it? No."
The videos are paying off
+13 pips or +33 euro
