Took NTBB on FTSE according to Claudia's TP=20, SL=10. Lets see.

Got executed far too late i guess (good buffer..) even that i wanted to take the high of 08:45-09:00.

It seems like FTSE here tends to jump very erratic and fast compared to GU, at least it felt like this? I haven't got the time to set the pending buy at the right place, boom it spiked up and got me filled...

Took profit few minutes earlier on FTSE for around +12 as i could not concentrate on the BillyBar. Should have let it hit TP or SL instead. It did the +20 by now...

BillyBar. I got out...

It felt like taking hours to move to the +5. I actually just wanted to scratch the trade to cover the commission costs as it gave it a little push up, took +4,5 and got out.

Not sure but watching it now it seems like it was the right thing to do as it felt obviously having problems there, looking to the left there we have the high of the 00-04 range established earlier and the Daily Pivot.

I know i know. Trade the lines. So i somehow broke my own rules here, not giving it the full room of nearly -15 Pips to hit the low of the BillyBar again and get me filled with a counter order or taking the SL there. However as long as nobody is able to tell me how to "fix" that than i think i have to do what i have to do.

More lol...

And my broker got me disconnected 3 times in the last 15 minutes again. So if traded the BillyBar like normal i would be in huge mess right now.

The best option would have been i am now sitting in only 1 buy and 1 sell at a 15 Pips difference.

there's something to that. ten years ago i moved to the country for that reason.
daily walks in the woods are good for the nerves, i observed that early on.
in my eyes, the big city is poison for traders.
too many distractions, too little grounding.

i also read something years ago about the best traders being dancers, painters or other artists.
far ahead of mathematicians&physicists.
the creative process is crucial and there again, the circuits in the brain play an important role.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

I see, so thats why it spiked there. Thank you for letting me know. I was actually aware of the red flagged Bailey Speaks event but thought of it happening an hour later, probably have the time zone to my profile here setted wrong, have to check that.

Still have to talk to the broker why i am getting disconnected so often. Doesn't happen with any other broker.

Trade safe

For something completely different: ( Also posted elsewhere)

No trading for me this morning but look at this Futures Trade on the 5 minute this morning. Wish it always moved like this

EDIT: I noticed the %R is messier on the one minute.
EDIT - EDIT = similar for YM and NDX Futures

Note the %R could be binned since the unfolding story is indicated by horizontal lines and these (for me) take precedence.
Busy calendar today. Be careful.

Yeah, that's the one aspect I 100% agree with and always have. Inherited the thinking from my mum, always get yourself out and about for a walk. Soooooooo beneficial.

Taken to the extreme, have you ever felt the clear headedness you get at the top of a hill? There is a school of thought that these high places are where the last elements of the Earth's universal "magic" remains and tbh I wouldn't put up too much of an argument against that.

I am in the city just now for another reason of course but I can't wait to get back to my countryside home and would be looking to get nearer the coast again, too.

I live in an incredibly rural area and I do take it for granted too much. Maybe your conversation has been a bit of a reality check for me.

Totally agree. Social media are poison too. Indeed, i don't even more use them, and i'm going into meditation.

Try yoga and/or T'ai Chi. Both work wonders for me.
