{quote} the new day analogy to new cards shuffle in poker is actually really eye opening. I used to see the whole session as a day, but this makes perfect sense. If we go by this, we should be staying away from the market most of the time only take good setups. Knowing when to walk away doing nothing is probably a fundamental skill that's not emphasized much
in effect you are staying away from the market most of the time, and only taking good setups. ( supposedly).
there is always, always another trade!!

{quote} asian= +$540 US= +$5260 total=+$5800 asian session was a wild ride. i had made an observation that should help protect profits in the future. ps. my contract max should be 9 per setup not 8 (as originally posted). nevertheless, i will NOT touch 10 contracts per setup. {image}

absolutely waste of time and got out with -$65! I was stubborn for wanting to hold shorts back into vwap, and this son of a bitch just hangs above it. And today market will be closed for day of mourning (https://www.cmegroup.com/media-room/press-releases/2018/12/02/cme_group_u_s_equityinterestratemarketstoclosefornationaldayofmo.html). seriously.nobody's mourning i tell you that much for someone who's lived a full life, so i don't know wtf cme is doing. probably kissing up to the bush family for financial reasons.
but forex futures is open though. i think i want to trade euro futures lol

{quote} Took a nice short off 6b. Recorded the 80min session and condensed it to just under 3 minutes with ispring. I kind of like this method, cuts out all the waiting bullshit and just narrow down to entry/exits and occasional screen updates. asian=-$65 US=+$825 total=+$760 {image} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YpBJokM0CA

the last setup on the asian session took forever. I realized a bit late that a whole number was in front of my target. finally got that filled correctly.
waiting on US to start.

had a fubar day. made few observations that would've avoided the two losses today. in fact, similar setup occurred during asia, but i was lucky on that one. i could've waited later and still profited on that asian setup. unfortunately, i got screwed this time around for not waiting during US session. up +5k for the week. Not complaining at all. maintained my disciplined. lost due to system improvement process
