That's enough for today. A wrap-up for this month. Actually, I somewhat overtraded this month. This might be because I was looking for more setups so I could include them in this journal for my friends to see. Usually, I only aim for around 50 pips a day (250 pips a week).

Some have asked me whether I ever feel tired from staring at the charts for hours. My answer is: not at all. I don’t look at the charts the way a beginner might, full of excitement for scalping. I have 19-inch screens in the bedroom, dining area, and kitchen. If I’m outside, I just use a 9-inch Samsung tablet. I glance at the charts casually and only give full attention when I see a potential scalping opportunity.
I don’t mind missing any setups because opportunities will always come. That’s the advantage of trading on the 1-minute timeframe — there’s no need to focus all your time and attention on the charts. You don’t need to chase opportunities; instead, let them come to you.
Once you’ve been a scalper as long as I have, you’ll understand that scalping isn’t stressful at all. You scalp when you want, and stop when you want. What matters most is having solid self-discipline.

regards
Sjmr

Alright, that's it for today... managed to grab over 80 pips after ditching a losing trade. Kinda feel like eating out today, so I told my wife not to cook and took her to our favorite restaurant. Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying time with your families too. Honestly, without them, we’re nothing.

This is what’s called temptation. When we stop trading, suddenly many setups start to appear...

Just let it go… be thankful and enjoy what you already have. Greedy people always end up losing — like a dog chasing shadows

Hi, Senjamerah

Was the following markup a valid buy entry according to your strategy (although it was a failure)?

Natural gas is not tradeable on 1m chart time zone you are trading. Look at candles. So many candles like -
it means H=L=O=C ( and most likely volume on these candles is 1 ) and candle with 2 price points O=L and H=C or O=H and L=C
Small volume = big spread too.

Yes, Monday Asian session is usually not very good time to trade. However, NG Futures is one of the most volatile assets with enough trading volume. Trust me, I have burnt huge money trading on NG 1M chart.

Always enjoy your charts Steve !

How Price Reacts ! 100%... I always have this quote on my charts "Timings Levels Behaviour of Price"

After spending years trading a 1min...I've gravitated away to the 5min... I simply cant process the 1min
chart well enough... Hats off to you Steve !

Here's my take this morning on Gold. (Only thing not showing is prev day Last traded price.)

All the best to you Sir !
