A daily chronicle of results of one retail futures trader trading my own accounts. I define myself as a day trader and generally swing for at least a few points most of the time. But I do make the occasional scalp for ticks too.
Your time resolution might be too low on some of these trades. On that first trade on the left column, there's a volume bar after your entry that was showing someone accumulating hardcore and violating your entry point. I see how your stop was the previous resistance, but in that scenario it seemed like even giving it that much was a mistake because someone clearly absorbed some volume there.
ReplyDeleteThrow up a 15-second or 30-second bar chart with the volume displayed beneath. If someone accumulates hard when the market is going trying to go through, you should be alert.
