Daytrade – Result – Win – INTU
My second trade of the day. What I saw…
- 2 consecutive inside bars and NR7 combination
- A downward pressing 5ema
- No Entry Bar
- It’s obvious that I was trying to force a trade here
- My Entry was under the white line below the low of the 2 combo bars
- My Target was the Opening Low
- My Short was triggered by the 8th bar
- I thought I was Stopped Out when prices retraced back above my Stop, but it didn’t happen (see white circle on chart)
- The long upper shadow on the 9th bar was caused by bad data
- Another entry point could be the break of the 11th bar bottom
- My Target was reached during the 12:30 bar

Daytrade – Result – Loss - STX
It’s been a long while since I last day-traded, and I’m thrilled to be participating this morning. My first trade was STX. What I saw was…
- 2 consecutive combo’s of Inside Bar + NR7
- Although the 2 inside bars did not signal an entry for me, I decided to gamble and hope that prices will reach its Opening Low, for a small gain
- Set Entry just below the Low of the 2 Inside Bars (see white line)
- Stop was above the Red Bar
- My Entry was triggered by the following bar (see 2nd chart)
- Unfortunately, I was stopped out 15 minutes or so later during the next bar

Long Term Trade - FXE
- Here’s another Long Term trade that I took position from last week
- Please note that if my Target of $124 is reached, I intend to stay in position and evaluate the situation
- Looking at this chart over the weekend, I noticed that the Target does not yield a full 2R return
- The 2R minimum return is the new standard of all my entries from now on

Swing Trade – Result – Loss – HCP
- HCP looked a bit promising for about 2 days.

- I didn’t expect it to rally so strong!

Swing Trade – Result – Loss – AIV
- I was hoping for a quick Swing Trade of AIV
- I entered Short when prices fell below $6.11
- Looking back at my setup now, I think I was a bit optimistic. $5.00 mark should be my Target instead of the mid-$4 range.
- It never got there anyway
