Nikkei cruising

Ok.

decided it was a bear entry because of the gap on the descent.

interim target 36122
final target 36022

depending on what it does around 36122 I'll decide if I should it keep my position going till the final target as sometimes strong retrace wave forms around that interim target of course depending on signal and levels appropriate action will be taken.

We've got this on the calendar they usually come around 10:30-11:30

So I've still got 3-4h till that hits the chart.

Anyways I have a legitimate signal so I have to take it regardless of whats on the calendar but I'm thinking probably should exit upon first target I mean I can still wait and enter upon the right signal to action when it happens.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking...

+78p out.

range is pretty tight today and I've got some errands to run today.

not sure if I can hit my target today.

its going to be a short trading day for me.
going out.

range is tight and impending big event.

bear move currently in progress
but I'm looking to take the next trade

because last friday I was caught in a broadening pattern aka reversal managed to get out alive out of that and hit my target its a miracle

until I feel 100% sure how that broadening forms after my entry and if I can get out of it with minimal + I'm not going to trade the first move of the day unless there's a big opening gap thats a different scenario

I feel like the second move is really where the real money is

I guess a little patience goes a long way in trading

and I think I'm finally developing that

I see that now!

its a bull day
interim target 37287

final target for this move is 37387
since this is a broadening I'm looking to trade the retrace wave from 37387 but if this retraces from 37287 to 37090 I'm going to take this up on the offer and trade it up

the more I think about safety and risk the more I realize for any trade there's really two options

oopsy daisy

1 long position
I think I got this

take a deep long breath.

today is a holiday for Nikkei so might be a looong day.
I guess I just didn't want to wait for a whole day to start a position.

out -12p
you know what
I need more discipline

stick with the goddamn plan.
back to waiting mode.

I need to get in on a sure thing.

did the right thing by exiting at -12p
bears hit their first target.

maybe just maybe successful trading should be "boring"

two early long positions +49p

I'm aware I need to wait for the real entry for bulls.

I had to turn on a wind.
Remember I told you about broadening forming ? and how it didn't hold but kept on going down.

target 36876.

out BE
I think something is cooking.

bulls...
I'm on the sidelines.

Target 37304.

if I had stayed with my initial long target would have reached eventually.
Another lesson.

I'm taking the first wave of the day because I figured something... early Tokyo move is a continuation of US move.
I'm going to take the second wave too if this one hits target around Singapore open.

I'm trying to keep it KISS.
As I tend to overcomplicate things and read too much into any given scenario, its a training.

Idk there's no such thing as turning on a wind for me anymore unless you want to improvise and become the greatest.
I don't.

I'm tired.
I just need my bread and butter and call it a day, I'm not aiming for the stars.

And for that I just had an epiphany maybe keep things simple ?

Maybe truth is simple ? maybe we all overlook that simplicity because it is much simpler than we'd ever like to believe...

had to cut that long trade off at -150p
it hurts but it had to be done.

just goes to show there're still things that I need to learn and be more aware of.
because as much as I'd like to keep things simple complications do occur and when it does I need to be able to see it happening and take the right action.
