Only today matters. Not yesterday's results, not tomorrow's hopes. Just today. It's all the todays that you put together that make up your week, your month and your year. It's the todays that mean the difference between paying the rent, adding to your retirement fund and buying petrol for your car. It's the todays that buy your house, that buy that car and that educate your kids and provide for your loved ones. TODAY.
When I trade, I focus on only today. Yesterday is old news. Have I done my job effectively today? Am I doing my job effectively today. Bar by bar.
Flo put me long the ES @ 1273.25 and scaled out on the way up. The close down @ 1275.75 showed divergence so exited the last third there before Flo did (HT) and prepared for the Gap trade as I tweeted an hour and a half before the RTH open. I was waiting for the Jobs number to pass before positioning myself.
I talk a lot about the Gap trade because it's a very easy trade to understand and do. Also, you can backtest and get clear statistics which should give you the confidence and information you need to trade it. And finally, you usually only have to work a short time to hear the Ching Ching. The way I use context brings the win rate to over 80%, which is very amazing. It allows me to confidently trade size and take smaller bites per contract. I'm doing more work on automating this. MarketDelta allows me to access VA and POC prices and I want to try and explore that.
The ES Gap trade did not eventuate for me. Market looks like its waiting for tomorrow's jobs number and to hear Bearded Ben, but taking some money off the table just in case. Discipline is important and sometimes what you envision does not happen.
