Failed to take a critical stp n rev in YM today, and so failed to participate in the upside glory. Otherwise, stuck to the trading plan pretty close. Since the Trade Plan has some strict criteria for taking breakouts, I also missed a piece of the TF on the long side, but am not willing to change that plan criteria to accomodate that type of breakout yet. Am always looking for better refinement in the filters for taking breakouts, as the successful ones are so rewarding. But in general, the filter set also keeps me out of a lot of failing breakouts and losses. Wishing all a good weekend.
