Apr-23-2024 usd$105.50 in profit - US PMI
From overnight the market took the up direction, slow but steady. CTTool010 was not activated because the Compound momentum oscillations.
After the session open the price continued going up...
After the US PMI data release the price continued in the up direction without high volatility.
At the end of the day the CTTool010 got the conditions to open the up grid collecting a small profit.
Today was a particular trading day, in the mental game i mean, when we see the chart is clear the price is up and still going up and why the CTTool010 did not enabled???? Iam losing opportunities to make money here!!! that's what i think and that's exactly the relevant of this trading day. The CTTool010 did not had the full conditions to trigger the up grid because the Compounded momentum was not aligned when the StepMA was triggering (and supply / demand zones). I can see that in the small green rectangle and watching the full chart. So that's it, if the CTTool010 setup Iam using to trade this day is not taking trades then i accept it.
What i do not accept is the fact to lose money, as we had a couple of weeks ago with recurrent ranging trading days. So Iam trading my plan and i must have the discipline to trade it. In this case is to trade with the setup i set from several optimizations and testing and i take this day in my daily journal as an important case to evaluate if i see more of this. For now Iam glad it finished the day with a profit.
All have a great day!
