Yes, strong selling continues. The buyers seem to struggle.

Was also able to get +82 today. I had it in my trading plan to take the first swing sell but I didn't like the rotation on it. Oh well beggars cant be choosers.

I agree about the selling strength. I am also noticing this area. I still think the bulls want to gored the bears.. but I don't know what they are waiting for.

I see price being rejected in about the same area on my m30

EU right now. Still getting confused by the immediate and not so immediate orderflow, but slowly making progress.
Thanks for keeping the streams available.

Ok, so I ran into internet issues and had to call NinjaTrader's order desk to liquidate my position my connection came back. So I think I will quit for the day 105 points.

Internet issues sounds scary to me for this business. I am glad that you were able to liquidate your position with positive ticks.

And got taken out.
Moved the SL to 38,2. And greed got to me and moved it even closer and got taken out.
All in all a decent +150, but might've gotten more out of her if I managed my trades like an actual human being that likes money.

I am still trying to retrain some old mental habits from training the wrong way. I think that if I had found this thread with the suggested study materials related to it, then I wouldn't have reinforced so many bad habits. So, I am trying to break the chain of old habits and form better ones that are more mechanical.

Nevertheless.. you seem to be doing really great!!

O.k. I just kept getting whipped tonight.

O.k. I have to admit to myself that sometimes, I have a problem of trading what I think, or want to happen versus what I actually see. I think that once I get passed this mental challenge, I will do better.

Anyways.. thanks for the advice Mr. Pip. I will diligently practice it!! Hopefully I can practice tomorrow night. My wife and I will go see the Avengers tomorrow.

Alright good night all, and keep it mechanical.

Locked in +2 BE earlier. Too much selling power for me and the bulls could not fight hard enough. At least my view on the chart. Skip this one and go with the next one tomorrow. Sometimes I also find myself in situations where I am very focused on my expectation, "forgetting" to look/react on the price action that happens in the meantime. Not confusing orderflow, just staying ahead of the price.
