Fri 25th Sep BE London Session ES SNP500 1st trade before the W on NQ -
Has to be one of the most frustrating trades in a while for me, Thankfully Took the retest on NQ for profits but this break even stings - Same bias Bullish was Strong DOL above, MBSL Daily and Weekly Highs, PDH above, 4hr Unmitigated above as well as Daily Imbalance - Entry after the 15 min Discount bullish array was tagged in the range and CISD, SL at the propulsion, TP at the PDH. Should have really scaled the profits here and took partials but had such a heavy strong DOL above I left it running and the got stopped at break even to the tick and then price ran through all my targets - Happy with the re entry on NQ with even more Draws above - Great PA this London session
Fri 25th Sep W London Session NQ
Bullish HTF bias, Mitigated Hourly bullish Discount Array, Unmitigated 4hr Premium, MBSL resting above, REQ highs at London High above - Strong DOL above - Entry after the 5 min MSS, SL at the OB, TP at the REQ highs BSL - margin of safety Friday base hit - all out at TP1 no partial - Nice win up on my TopStep account - Strong Bullish Bias this morning with price respecting Bullish institutional order flow
Thu 24th Sep W NY session ES SNP500
5R Trade - HTF bearish bias, 9:30 manipulation, London liquidated and Midnight Open respected, 4hr Mitigated, LTF CISD Entry after the nearish expansion - SL at the High, TP at the 9:30 open - Break even at OTE NY range - Targeting Lower price - MOS at the OTE and 9:30 OP. Huge win today for me - executed the model after my confluences and let the trade run with conviction.
Thu 24th September W London Session NQ - Early macro trade - Bearish Institutional order flow, 15 min bearish FVG reaction, LTF MSS entry targeting the London Low and lower price/ unmitigated discount arrays - Quick entry and quick TP with Break even set at OTE. Nice over 2R this morning - however obviously looking at the whole session I took the smaller move and wasn’t present for the 30 min mitigation for the larger short position execution - however happy with the profits this morning and executing the model
No trades this NY session for me - Set up at 9:30 which was expected and price dumping after tagging Midnight Open and delivering out of the Bearish Premium Array - However didn’t take it - and wanted to see the retrace to enter targeting the daily imbalance and 4hr unmitigated - but did not get this - then the second set up was after mitigating the discount array and giving the LTF MSS entry going long however price had moved fairly enough to make this trade low probability - Up today with the 1 trade in London $
Wed 23rd September W London Session NQ 2R
Early move this session - Asia high ran and PDH ran, Price gave the LTF confluences and reaction/ expansion for the short entry with the CISD, SL at the high targeting Midnight open, with full TP hit at London Low where I closed after trailing aggressively - Break even was set at OTE LR. Great execution and set up this morning for my Top step
Very tough day for me today - London session - missed the move after ES mitigated the 4hr and ran PM low giving the LTF confluences for a long towards the London high and midnight open and then stupidly entered shorts on NQ to the Equal lows but we had already had an SMT there and it was way to late in the session for a trade setup with volatility.
Then didn’t like anything this NY AM but at the late macro I entered shorts after taking Asia high and giving the confluences for entry and then targeted the PFVG but price was slow and not moving with expansion and when I was able to cut my loss I didn’t and let it run to my SL when I knew the trade was invalid.
2Ls tough day for me - so easily avoided but what’s done is done and I will learn
No trades for me this NY session - said yesterday the open would be key - no retrace and as much as I want to chase price and long - I didn’t today due to unmitigated arrays below in the liquidity run we are in at the moment
Mon 21st September L London session NQ
Went against the directional bias today on NQ - Targeted the unmitigated 4hr imbalance and was looking for some sort of retrace this session, Entry on my Top step after the 3 min MSS, SL at the high, after running Asia and Daily highs, TP at Margin of Safety London Low, Midnight Open - Price just ran me straight out this session unfortunately - the model was there just no retrace this London Session with it continuing bullish after the bearish PA recently.
Next week - Economic Calendar - No red folder news events this week - will be trading as usual every day - 9:30 NY open will be key for this weeks set ups in NY
No trades this AM for me - no set up other than the early short at open - saved capital and closed the charts - Another solid week for me - we keep moving and refining the model
Fri 18th September W London Session ES SNP 500
Just under 2R this morning, waiting for the short as we were heavily in a premium and price had ran up with very low resistance, Filling the full NWOG, Making equal 5 min lows at London Low, Full target being the Hourly imbalances - Margin of safety Friday rule - taking TP at the first target which was the REQ lows - Entry was late macro - very patient for this set up as price made the ITH - Entering after the 5 min CISD with SL at the ITH - Break even was set at the OTE level of the London range - Price ran to TP after accumulation.
Thu 17th September W London Session NQ
Missed the Long after Asia low ran early London however my bias was bearish, took a while waiting for this set up but got it in the end, Bearish Bias, Hourly Discount Arrays Unmitigated lower, Asia High PDH ran (BSL) Entry after the 5 min CISD - SL at the ITH, TP at the first Unmitigated Hourly - closed the position due to the SMT with ES mitigation and also price showing it still wants to move higher - so closed the position on NQ for a nice small win on my Top Step - Same set up just different day - Executing the model
No trades this AM session as FOMC late news release - NQ took the Equal Highs and filled Premium Arrays - respecting bullish order flow in the AM session - Set up was there but didn’t take it today
Wed 16th Sep W London Session ES SNP500
Took the Short this London Session, HTF Bearish Bias, Respecting 4hr OB, SMT Asia High, 3 min MSS Entry on ES, SL at the London High made, TP just at the London Low, Nice trade this morning on my TopStep, bit of a lower risk than normal with the small win. Not expecting a set up in NYAM - as late FOMC but will see.
Tue 15th Sep NQ L London Session
Bullish Bias Targeting REHs London high and Asia Equal highs BSL, as well as Unmitigated Hourly Premium Arrays, Entry of the respect and reaction of Midnight Open, 3 min MSS, Price ran higher filling me but just wiked up and then hit my SL at the LL made. Annoying loss as didn’t check ES at all this morning as well as the bad entry.
