It's pretty rare that I'm able to book 50 points in the NQ for trading in the First Frame of the day... so I guess at least some feeling of elation would only be natural... but not today. Having struggled to find a position that would sweep up with against the First Trend Test-n-Reject reversal, I exited the 2nd contract at the first meager resistance it met for nearly net 50 pts for the pair, only to watch NQ price go up some 400 points in a near vertical take-off. ...and I also had the audacity before the session began to cue students into removing their targets that a bigger share of the excursions could be captured. This is why I remain a small trader... It's not lack of vision, but commitment to act on what's visible at hand.
