Wednesday plan check #NQ_F 📈

Plan said: break 28426 → 28693.
Market printed 28697.

Plan was right but I wasn't. Got chopped in the morning and missed the move I mapped.

Lesson isn't the levels, it's waiting for them.

@MR_EUR0 Clean. Where'd you take it from? I got chopped in that same range today.

@JD_Futures Today I was the high cortisol version. Working on it.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@pekutovsky45098 Bonds closed for Veterans Day. Half the desk is off and the tape feels it.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@daytradingrauf Same range got me too. Took both sides and gave back the morning. Small range days punish anyone trading the middle.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@_Littlebull And today I did the opposite. Good reminder to read my own posts.

Evening #NQ_F long.

Held the Asia low and 4H level at 27955. Entered 28004 on the reclaim of 28000.
Ran straight through the 28090 prior day high. Out 28100.

+96 points. Took it and logged off.

@JD_Futures Always. Tomorrow's plan is already half written.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

Overtraded the chop today. Gave back most of my profits.

Still green, but that’s not the point. I had the plan and didn’t follow it.

Happens to the best of us. The fix is the same as always: fewer trades. #NQ_F

Wednesday plan #NQ_F

Veterans Day. Bonds closed, futures open. Thin tape.

Overnight ran 450 points: 27954 Asia low to 28406.

28426 4H level right overhead.
Break it → 28693 next
Reject it → 28262, then 28007
Fewer trades today. Let it come to the levels

CPI day plan check #NQ_F

✅ Held 27720 → ran to 28090. Through the 28075 prior close
✅ Then lost 27720 → flushed to 27517. Under the 27600 retest
Closed 27864

Both sides of the map got hit. I took the top half and the short back down. Net green.

@TonyBlackVision Thanks. Letting the stop do the work is the only way I don't cut winners early.

ES trade # 2 for the day. #ES_F

Long 7462 before the open. Broke the 4H level at 7470 and never looked back.

Trailed the stop the whole way up. Out at 7538 just under the next 4H zone. +75 points.

Two trades, two markets, one direction. Done for the day.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@_Littlebull That's the rule. If the re-entry doesn't work either, I'm done for the night.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

Gold short tonight. #GC_F 📈

First short got stopped when it squeezed into 4150. Asia high and prior close, same level.

Re-entered at 4142 on the rejection. Rode it down into the Asia low.
Out 4121. +21 points. Stopped once, banked the second.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@_Littlebull Exactly. Hardest part today was not forcing a third one.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

CPI day #NQ_F

Trade 1: Long 27967 off the CPI bounce. Out 28012. +45

Then a few stop outs in the chop around 27960.

Last one: it lost 27915, so I shorted. Covered 27802 at the 4H level. +110

Two clean trades, some chop in between. Net green.

The key here was the stop outs did not discourage me from getting back in on the move.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@TheJordanVera Yep. Every tap of 28000 got sold. Once it lost that, the short was easy.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@AndrewHiesinger Appreciate it. Your call wall post was the heads up.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@finessee_Fx The open long was the gift today. 27967 to 28012 before it rolled over.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@SirPickle_ Every push toward 28000 today got sold. Felt like it wanted to go and just couldn't.

[Trades by Irfan @IrfanPasha_]

@mmitro98 Same idea here. Covered at 27802. The chop above 27915 before it broke was the hard part.
