Nikkei cruising

+134

​800 gap close was my target but I felt like closing it right as it broke 850 thats trading in a nutshell you have to learn to go with the "feel" of the dance its not as simple as 1+1 I guess that's the reason why everyone of my mechanical systems failed in the long run.

To me that feels and looks like a gap close now its between 850-800.
I'm going to wait for a resolution. It doesn't worth the fight for 50 range when I pay 8pips in spread.

+196

thus far

that was a tough battle!!

back to 800 looks like this is the level

not doing anything until it breaks

too much risk

​win loss ratio 80/20 not too bad

looks like they're aiming for 900 again.

however you look at it I feel that its going to be tight range at least until Singapore arrives

+480

exited at 750
it might touch 750 exactly
it might not

I don't know but I prefer to be safe today seeing the behavior it presents plus Tokyo is out the main liquidity provider
I have to be extra cautious for any surprises

90/10 I'd like to keep the ratio at this number

another gap close at 700

+565

price has reached 700

I see that the range is 50 today for Nikkei instead of 100 pre Xmas and New years range

+771

done for today

for the remaining hour I'm just going to be watching the chart and trade mentally

​I think its good to develop a habit to know when to stop whether you've made OR lost money

600

thats beautiful.

almost

its been a bears territory thus far

I don't see a recovery for now

+161

+264

Oops missed the impulse move

+410

don't be a PIG!

pick a side and stay with it until it reaches target
road to the target can't always be smooth

+707

ratio 80/20

calling it a day here

+848

almost had a minor heart attack but came out alive!

my target was 750

I exited a little early but I don't care as long as I came out in the green

its days like this that you have to have faith in your rules and your ability to feel price

as long as price moves the law will prevail levels will be respected !

I need to find a good balance for my margin in case price decides to take a stroll in the park before getting serious about work thats all

still making mistakes but learning to dance to the rhythm of the dance much better
pip count is useless
the only thing that counts is if you can "see" the rhythm and sing the rhyme.

range is getting tighter we're coming along to Singapore open awaiting for their directional move
I almost improvised "almost"

but for now stick to the rules you'll learn to improvise when the time comes
to get in the flow , in the zone - that'll be the ultimate dream place.

Trend is up retest had happened during Us session
But I see a gap up above between 690-681 which can create confusion for a lot of traders aka the killing zone I've been a prey there for many years but no more
Usually you'll be able to get a clue as to where it might wanna go depending on how it reacts to "certain" levels and then the TRAP happens which usually indicates a very good entry ! But for the poor souls who can't see its a ground for merciless killing.
I'm going to be a predator not going to be a prey.

Preparation done now comes the actual trading finding the right direction depends on the ability to read price as it trades around certain levels and certain hours of the trading day , successful entry depends on ability to identify a trap.

As for exit there's usually a range for Nikkei I'll obey to that.

Nikkei is in the process of retrace
Pre Tokyo move looks like its going to be a test of 977 area could go higher than the current resistance of 070
I'm going to be looking to get on the Tokyo move once it reaches 977

Or this could turn into a broadening pattern as it did like last Friday who knows.

I'm just going to stay ultra focused to get a feel for the Tokyo directional move.

From what I have learned over the years these major sessions move with an agenda and they leave clues ! for as much as I'd like to pat my self on the back for preparing according to the classical rules things can still go the opposite way and confuse many if you're unaware of "their" agenda, after all its their game we're playing.

Turns out Nikkei found support at 011 area oh well nothing is written in stone
+259

exited a little too early target was at around 159
I bought more on demo I need to practice these extra moves before I risk real money
for now my focus is Tokyo directional move first impulse sometimes they reach target just find sometimes they may retrace deeper I just need more practice on these to eliminate fear
as I keep exiting in the middle of the move

Out this one on demo

I think I need to develop that "feel" for exits as well depending on how price behaves
it touched 140 so there was a distance of 19pips I wouldn't have minded 10-15
I need to work with that fear and closing too early
