I went long on the 89 tick chart at the opening. I am trying work on better entries. My goal will be to eventually have a starting stop loss of 20 points or less. {image}
Stopped out while posting the above chart for +31

I re-entered short too early and lost 30 points. Then reentered at a better price going short. I did use the 89 tick chart to enter.

Hi Reo43ua,
On your chart it looks like you have a NSH yet you were trading short. Also, why didn't you go to BE at the test of structure?

Thanks for the feedback. I still struggle with identifying the main swings - I hope this image explains my thought process. Price never made it back to the NSL which is where I would have moved to BE.

Yes I see the swing you are trading. It is a difficult area to identify the correct swing. More importantly you identified good structure, ratio and rotation. For me, I would get to BE anywhere near structure. Whether you identified the swing correctly or not you got a good entry in the right direction. Once you get near that structure your expectation usually plays out or fails completely. Hope that helps.

I traded today the 34tick. A lot of trades and some small mistakes like move stop too fast to breakeven but ended up with 91 points

I took this short based on TA. The bulls have been really defending the 24566 tonight. In my view that is. In the grand scheme of things. If my analysis are correct then the bear want to take price a lot lower. Time will tell.

Hello. took 18 trades on the 34tick today for 39points profit. I also did my first rescue trade which worked out perfect. I could 've done more rescue trades to erase more losses but I am still testing them and the one I did was a perfect example. I had 5 losers, 5 breakevens and 8 winners

I'm having a lot of trouble with those big moves.. on the 233 tick the expectation was for a NSH... there wasn't a 38.2 correction on the immediate OF so I didn't want to enter a short. Very frustrating to sit on my hands for a second day in a row.
A break below the lime green line would suggest a change in immediate orderflow but since the correction hadn't reached the 38,2 for me this wasn't a valid change of orderflows.

Am I missing something ?

Mr. Pip will have a live stream next week. Maybe you can save your screen shot and ask him at that time. Also, from your chart.... what situational awareness are you using besides structural analysis and fibonacci numbers. By the way.. I am terrible at fibonacci. I don't have them mastered yet. But trying.

O.k. this will be my last screen shot before I go to sleep. The bulls are still fighting, but the bears so far are trying to take this thing spelunking with them. Time will tell. I locked in a few more points. My current bias is for the bears. Again... time will tell.
