i had a couple rough days I couldn’t get trades to stick playing the open 5m trade but there was a lack of LoB imbalance with all of the uncertainty and it just resulted in big trades that did not work at all.
I’ve been sick and trying to organize a move so my psychology has been a bit off, and I’ve been taking trades that aren’t great quality and just forgetting how to wait. I just find going for a walk before I trade is about the best way to ensure I’m mentally in the right frame of mind to exercise restraint.
I had a couple nice trades today, this one I chose note to hold but it’s just a reminder to myself that you get high degrees of confluence. Checking the QQQ VWAPs over sessions gives a couple other signals that can all stack up and once you find enough signal in confluence, it becomes very easy to find good quality entries.
You just have to remember to wait. You are only scanning. You don’t have to do anything. Once it all lines up it’s very easy to enter trades with anger.
