New trades:
USD/JPY 1:4RR;
GBP/USD 1:3RR;
NASDAQ 1:4RR (Not the best setup so probably going to hit SL we'll wait a see).

Hey Cog, I'm just curious, what didn't you like about the market that kept you from trading your plan?

Great Question!

My Primary Timeframe I use is the 30Minute Timeframe and I fine tune my Entries on the 1Minute chart.
So what I am looking for is enough "space" between the next Support and Resistance on the 30Minute Chart.
I watch as well the Daily timeframe for context.. "Does the Trade make sense based on the Daily Timeframe/Candle?"

The reason I am trading the open is, because I am trading momentum. short bursts (preferably).
So I need the space that "allows" the Market to move smoothly.


Here is an Example of a Market that I am not Trading (1Minute Chart)

One way I not getting caught up in this Mess is to extend your Open Range by the new Pivots made.

Here is why I have taken the Trade

The reason why I even begin to look for a Trade is, that there is enough space.
Now I need the right Context around it.

Some of that Context is a must.
For example the current 30Min Candle being in the direction of my Trade I am looking for.

I dont need to have the correct direction for the Day.

I just need enough space for the momentum to carry me to my Take Profit.
