{quote} Can you please elaborate on the "naked" POC? How does it differ from any other pocs? I also have a POc line on my chart at 11,861 dated back to 26.01.2017 which my indicator labels as virgin poc. I guess both are the same.
Naked POC @ 861 is covered/tested now.

Yes! I am also eyeing 11,900 as monthly POC from March'15 and 11,984 as monthly POC from April'15 which is also naked on my chart.

Just wow...lol
Yes... I had a perfect entry and then f*#*#ed up the exit. Didn't expect this, my target was up to prior close, ~35 pts, but didn't hold even for that ("hey my stop was just 8pts, lets just take 20 and run, because I have to do something else on-line and blah, blah..."). That was the plan - up to prior close. Mofo. Also, not a wise thing to trade and do some other shit in the same time, usually that would be a loss.

Sometimes I hold and hold, act like a stubborn donkey, but there is nothing to get, market not ready to give, price comes back to b/e or worse.
To help myself, I made a "trade card" where I would fill some data about entry, like level, realistic target (to make me WAIT for it), is it trend or counter and so on... but I didn't even fill that card this time. Just ONE decent trade, like lets say +4R, can make a enourmous difference for whole trading week. And here we are, almost touching Jan high.

Anyways, here is my "trade card" or whatever you wanna call it, translation on english was in a hurry. I find that helpfull IF I actually fill it.

Balanced day, no fundamental of great impact and festive in the USA that has given with a session decaffeinated in a range of about 60 pips. The closure occurs within the value area in 11823 so in case of breaking the ib by the top as well as the 11828, opportunity of lengths of 20 pips to the maximum range of the day (11861). To overcome this last, new opportunity until the 11900. In contrast to breaking the initial balance at the bottom, inoperable zone by the confluence of several POCs that would not give us opportunity to exceed 11762, with...
Plan almost filled to 98% ... as planned ... going down was TOO hard, inoperable zone ... so path of less resistance ... UP, also because H4 and D1 are still pointing UP.

Next stop 11900-11919 .... H4 next stop 121XX

I honk they are pricing in a 10-15% Corporate tax cut so figure 10-15% gains from 19,000 which would justify current gains then to them. A bigger rate increase by FED or lower then expected Corporate tax cut would quickly erase all gains from 19,000
