6/2 - Good day for learning

Spent time re-writing/updating my trading plan and rules, and SIM trading today. Got 93 ticks along the way.

I know, not too exciting, but necessary. :)

How I trade:

-> I first identify the context of the market. This is done by drawing trend lines where price has proven them already, and then most times, taking a parallel of these lines, and drawing ‘potential’ or unproven trend lines.

-> Once the trend lines are identified, I will locate key areas where price has failed to breakout/down, or has shown support/resistance on more than one occasion. I give the most “weight” to the most recent price action at that point.

-> Wait for price to approach a trend line, as well as have potential support/resistance in the same area, and then take the trade.

-> I trade 1-5 contracts. Full stop <$600. I look to trade from 7:30-10:30 CST.
