I am starting to notice how my confidence is improving after keeping track of my entries, specially in this blog. It takes time to do it, but it is paying. Now I can see what works most of the time and the combination of conditions that put me in a trade with some edge that keeps showing as reliable. That is how I am not a fearless trader, as a matter of fact, I am a calm and happy trader. I don´t think that I am going to lose, I feel that I am going to win and that if things don´t go as expected...

This was a Gap Day


8:05 Price was moving to fill the gap but prior to filling it, there was big divergence with a sell of 320lot that was not very convincing in size to enter there. I have marked it to show how divergence worked.

8:13 Divergence Upside following big order buying of 624 that made me doubt since another seller with 400 appeared before. Actually worked and was a bounce to already broken 10300 YM level.

8:20 Divergence Downside twice...

In this chart I have marked points where I consider there were good entry points and their exits, sometimes good for reversing. Most based in divergences and biglots favoring the trade.

I only tried to take a trade long at 1101.75 at 11:29, at yesterday high pullback, but price took off without me since it did not drop to my entry order.

I also point out trades in the 3 min chart, that also show important levels of YM. Sometimes price bounces at those levels in YM and...

Sometimes I feel that I am lucky, because I do the things that are not supposed to be made and got along well. Trading, I mean. Today is an example.

At around 10:50 I started watching my charts, since I was invited to a trading room where they use a software similar to Market Delta.

I have to be honest, the guy seems to make good calls (even though had to counter trend losers to start the day), but I guess I have enough information with my charts and indicators that...

Today I was not able to read the real intentions of the big players. It seemed they wanted to fill the gap but on the way up there were big orders selling 7:48 that later reversed that kept me out of taking a position.

A test of yesterday close had enough divergence to enter but no big players.

Then price headed against yesterday high and after breaching it with divergence a big order of 833 contracts selling appeared but I put my selling order just at the top and...
