Two Persistent Trend Days seldom follow each other in a row, and so today offered what yesterday lacked, a lot of 1st frame swing opportunities. Without an exacting Trade Plan replete with entry models for such swings, playing this kind of whipsaw volatility would be impossible. Today, I even played the ORB breakout opp, although unlike yesterday, this one gave no more production that what it took to pay for the trade. ...but at least I was in on that game. Yesterday's TF ORB breakout opp was about the only sure way to participate in the TF bull explosion. So naturally, I get the religion back today.... doh! Stay disciplined. Report to work on time, and be ready for the tasks at hand. Be focused. Be the Plan.
