Yesterday's resolution to take NQ 2nd trend inflections was met today with conflicts in Pivot / Exhaustion Grid that filtered out those trades, so can give no mental feedback to intentions on self improvement in that area based on today's opportunities. The initial climb came with several sell signals but stop'd me out anyway. Good signals lower down in the NQ saved the morning, but my exits were a bit early on those, as the 'digging-out-a-hole' syndrome pushes one to the exits as P&L gets back to even. All in all an ok 1st frame, as there were a couple good trade opps after the losses were recovered. Stay focused.....

PM Addendum
Decent Trade Entry Model at the 2:30 TransTime for a counter trend buy. Took it in the YM for its lower contract value risk, but even dumped one at b/e as I witnessed the shaky action. ....or was that my shaky hand.... ha! Anyway, managed it as a 1 lot into the initial resistance for a balancing addition to today's profit goals. Stay disciplined.....
