A bit down today.

Couple things:

1)  I took the same trade on the TF and NQ, so I got double hit on that trade

2) On that same trade, my typical SL on TF would not have been hit.  I entered a tick late and my SL was placed at the dbl top, so even when the top was not peirced, my SL was hit.

3) I have noticed that I very rarely have a SL hit on a dbl bot/top trade that doesn't come back into profit shortly.  Not sure how to address this, or if I should just leave my SL where it is for safety's sake.  Difficult to watch the price move right back into my entry and beyond on nearly all of these..

Barely got out with profit today...A couple premature trade closes didn't help.

Not a lot going on today.  Got a few ticks on NQ and TF..  ES was in a tightish range. 

I am going to start posting 5m charts that show volume as well.  I am taking the entries off the renko bars but want to incorporate volume to help me stay in certain trades longer and if applicable, to keep me out of others.

Decent day.  Gave a not-so-insignificant amount back in commissions since several trades were on the NQ.  TF wasn't giving the same opportunities as NQ like it often does, so I took the trades on NQ..

Nothing yesterday because of some platform issues..

Today was good.  Real good; there were a lot more ticks to be had, but I won't complain about what I got out today.  Some dbl tops/bottoms.  Couple continuations.

Decent day. 

Switched gears a little bit to forward test one of the trades that I have been taking lately.  This is the easiest one to spot, and taking these trades without much filtering.  Since it is easy to spot, I am taking the same setup across 4 different instruments.  Just trading the tight double tops/bottoms as they appear.  Missed a couple setups and have marked them here.

Mixed day again.  Markets had trending, and I just picked the wrong spots to get on the ride.  A little frustrating in that regard.  Had several decent dbl top/bottom trades that paid a bit.  Tried to get out with more on my second contract when I am not feeling it run in my direction.  Took a trade off TF as well as the usual suspects.
