The best days in trading are one-and-done. I have almost no history of such days. But lately, because of the extreme volatility, short term swings that might normally produce a $200 profit, are producing 6 or $700, and I almost always exit a trade wondering why I got out so quickly. To add to this description, the early swings after the ORB tend to be the sharpest reactions. The longer you wait, the sloppier it can get. Traders are often more attracted to this later, slower trade. It appeals to their emotional state when facing such violent reactions. But if your trade models are correctly identifying these reversals with any consistency, the sweeping action of taking you into the ensuing move can easily over come the relative calm the slower, but more inconsistent signals more often atypical of later in the frame. Stay safe... this thing is almost over...

There are some days where a single mistake throws you off. You lose focus, fire too soon, get spooked about some pattern, give away small gains, fail to take profits on bigger ones, take too many trades, and in general, make you feel glad that it's finally Friday.. My mentor was fond of reminding me when I had such a day, that "trading is 90% mental....." and then after a good pause...."and the rest is in your head."

Today a big relief from the first two days of the week. The best signals in these volatility markets are those that 'sweep' into the trend without hesitation, and create no false spikes, whiplash nor stutter-step at the turns. Just consider the difference between yesterday's 1st Frame and today's. But you must learn to trade what's in front of you. The opportunities in these markets are nothing short of a phenom. ...but handling those opportunities require serious faith in your technical event concepts as Entry Models, and often repeated re-entries, just to prove your mettle.... stay safe...
