Some similarities to yesterday's opening for the TF, and Tuesday's opening for the YM, but I missed both opening breakout plays. Those require some real focus and attention to the subtlest detail in the very early bar formations... and a special willingness to play a breakout. This has never been a skill I have enjoyed, but I will continue to point out my shortcomings in this regard with the intention of eventually overcoming the mental block I seem to have against it. Today's TF early spike had similarities to yesterday's, but this one didn't stop me out, and the short signal came right at the gap-close. Same for YM and ES. On a pullback long, got stopped out as it melted through initial support, but recouped losses + a net profit with a re-entry, as the signal was just as valid lower down... in fact, better. See yesterday's comments.... ...and a good weekend to all...
