What did I witness this week$
Bearish going into the week and expected price on es nq and ym to go lower to weekly targets. Monday and Tuesday markets move higher and melted toward those weekly target.
Solid read on HTF price action
Avoid being in a trade leading up to and holding through London open.
Took a loss because I was eager to get another win after last W. Took a revenge trade and lost. -0.8%
Sitting out for rest of week.

Got the dub on US30. Was originally looking for longs, but at CME open, price ran higher and failed to take PDH. Saw a short opportunity after 10 (not an A+ setup). Almost stopped looking, then a second sell opportunity appeared at 11:30 (Not a plus). High was previously ran.
I did not love my performance today. I feel like my head was all over the place. I was looking for longs and started looking for shorts due to FOMO. This was a freestyle trade in my book but a winner none the less.
Cut risk and entered. Plan was to target bottom of a bullish 15 min gap that formed at open. I was anticipating that it would respect it. I closed at the bottom of that gap. Price ended up melting to PDL. Secured 2.5r out of 5r.
