UPS trying to push green

UPS 08/06 180 P .19

UPS continue's to fake out with this weak push up, daily tell's you the true story, stair step down

trying to watch UPS as we're about to get ITM

There's UPS dropping

UPS is falling AH we don't want this to fall to far as we still want our gap fill on the way down tomorrow, this will allow us to also add a day trade with our current swing

UPS pump faking call buyers, this is why we rolled into next week, prevents us from being shaken out of position

UPS starting to pave way

correction waiting for UPS to fall not PEP

thinking of $ups 202 calls next week

Powell says GDP is growing fast that's a very bullish statement, rolled UPS for more time

Buying UPS 08/06 187.50 P .90

selling UPS .61 for more time due to Powell GDP statement

UPS has a gap to fill from 04/29/21, we start filling the gap below $189 and we reach the gap fill at $181

hit those UPS real quick though

UPS currently below 100sma w/ negative market structure and high volume from seller's

UPS 190 puts 07/23 .54

$UPS could be in trouble if it can't stay above $190, has 200ma support at $180 but would be any ugly break

Big drop on $UPS

vs. downside WW3 > @JPwhoisbrown said: like I said, upside is multiple empty pockets for gap ups lol

going to be skimming through news now and see what kind of intraday set ups we have

@Matmac and congratulations in growing your account by 6% and a 74% win rate. You now doubt remember completing the psychology element of the trading programme - well welcome to it real life. However I can assure you that you are not alone this is a problem that all new traders encounter - see a profit take it see a loss close out your position. I do not possess a secret medicine to cure the problem and it is part of a learning experience but there are some things you can do. I would examine your trade set ups - are they a valid set up -how often do they succeed/fail - why did they succeed/fail. This should give you more confidence once you have entered a trade. If your set ups are not consistently successful then consider altering the set up and your entry/exit levels until it becomes a more successful. Of the 74% wins how many of these did you exit prematurely and how many additional pips would you have gained by staying in the trade. Like Anna and David I have never subscribed to risk and reward ratio's. However before taking a trade I will always try and identify an exit level but if it looks like price is struggling to meet that level I will exit my position and take my profit - however I trade on an intraday basis and a lot will depend on the timescales you trade and the prevailing market conditions . An intraday trader would be expecting a series of smaller successful trades than a trader who trades the longer timeframes so you will need to bear that in mind. I would suggest that in order to try and gain some confidence the next time you decide to exit a trade you sit on your hands and see if you can gain an extra couple of pips from trade this way you should build your confidence. I assume you are trading micro lots and exercising sound money management principles but you have to accept that losses will occur check on where you are placing your stop loss and decide whether this is a valid level of previous support or resistance. This all takes time but it does get easier with practice and experience. So nothing to disastrous at this stage but some work to do. Hope this helps.

all very similar set ups 

guy's due to to Powell talking today, I'm not taking any swings until after Powell is done talking, but I will be looking for good day trade set ups prior

@everyone I have been sitting on my hands all day .....so here is the deal: 1) Got stopped out of $WDC on the morning flush ..will make it up as usual 2) I am seeing more long and short set-ups than even today but i am just not getting a read on the probability of follow through 3) So I won't take a shot in the dark. Not my style..i need to be able to quantify my r/r BEFORE i fire off a trade. 4) However, what I am seeing is overall breadth rolling over .. this means there will be some nice dips to buy on the other end of this. So let's keep our powder dry for that ...just in case it plays out as i see it 5) There are still about 2 solid weeks left to trade through July and months before EOY. So let' stay patient and focused and wait for our setups 6) As I said in the chat yesterday, if you force /chase trades it means the market is trading you rather than you trading the market. So no rush, no chasing, no stress. Let the trades come in. See you tomorrow

I'm holding all positions, currently just scanning the market for intraday set ups, using criteria good volume and momentum, AMC is one potential intraday target currently just watching

Your set up is mid to long term set ups since you don't scalp correct? stronger levels on bigger time-frames

its good friday guys, there will be alot of good set ups in the market

im still in $NFLX on two weeklies, but i made enough on my $515 and $525 put sells (which I closed on the run ups) that they are house money

Personally I would focus on a limited number of forex pairs that are traded within your time zone - identify some trade set ups that you are confident and trade these set ups when they appear. Take one step at a time and gradually build up your confidence. As Fabi says you are going to get losses but that not a bad thing you are simply joining the trading fraternity all of who have and continue and always will suffer losses. Its how you manage your losses from a risk point of view and from an emotional point of view that will determine your success.

I think you need to decide exactly what you want to trade - forex, commodities etc. are you going to trade all currencies and commodities, the times you are going to trade and your trade set ups.

Morning TradePros! here are the gap ups and gap downs for today!

@Hannah I think you will find that David Weis was Gary Dayton's mentor. Tom Williams was originally a US syndicate trader who studied Wyckoff in depth and attempted to effectively computerise potential Wyckoff set ups. Tom mentored Gavin Holmes and Seb Manby and I think between them they started Tradeguider. Unfortunatley Tom passed away a few years ago and David Weis passed away earlier this year - both great traders and Wyckoffians. I would recommend reading any of their material if you want to develop a greater understanding of Wyckoff and VPA.
