Thursday, June 27

Couple straightforward and one add in that felt hairy for a couple minutes.  Trend was on my side though.  Last trade should have been held for full stop.

Tuesday, June 25

Back at it after a long walk in the woods.   Decent day.

Thursday, May 30

Difficult day.  The pips were not coming easy.  Came out with a small loss in the end.

Tuesday, May 28

Decent start to the week with a couple trades. 

Friday, May 24

Not a lot of action, but got a couple small trades in...got in a couple on my future's account as well.

Thursday, May 23

Not a lot going on in the market...trend fizzled at the beginning of my session.  Made a few pips though.

Wednesday, May 25

Whirlwind of a day.  Had a big win, a really big loss and then a lot of 'standard' trades that went normally for their small wins.  Down day on the whole however, because the loss was very substantial.  Price popped against me and I couldn't close. I have to learn to do that to be successful in this.

Tuesday, May 21

A bit dead...or at least, I didn't get my indis tripping where I needed them to trip.  Shorted and added and got out at BE....and that was it for the session.  Hopefully we'll be in a trend tomorrow, and see some action.

Monday, May 20th

Pretty dead session.  Didn't have a lot of opportunities.  Just a couple small trades.

Friday, May 17

Good session to end the week.

Thursday, May 16

After a month of mostly watching and not trading, I am back now and trading live.  Once again the rainbow.  Coming back to it after over a year of not trading with it, is quite interesting.  I feel I have a bit different of a perspective, and am hopeful that will give me a better experience.

Thanks to my Seattle friend for helping me ease back into the rainbow in a way that works for me, and  my Colombian friend who is always an influence whether he knows it or not.

Trades taken have the arrows, and trades missed are in the boxes.

Stop was too tight on the YM trade.  I had the right direction but should have backed the SL off a bit to give it some air.  Too bad as it would have been a 24 tick trade.

Week WrapUp: 53 ticks total
Beginning of week had some renko based trades that I will  not be doing for the foreseeable future. Those trades would have eaten up a lot of commission this week..and I don't let them run, so I will let them go.

A little fast and loose today. Was largely on the right side of moves, but just at the wrong time.  3rd and 5th trade were the most solid.   Last trade had to bail prematurely when I had a visitor arrive.  Would have been down after commissions.

Wasn't able to capitalize on the nice move up, and missed an opportunity trying to get an ideal entry after my second trade.  Ended fine, but would like better stops.

Late entry on this one. Didnt drag my buy stop quick enough. Kept my TP the same.
