NAS Outlook 12/18

Updated
Bearish on indices. Price used news to push back up to the Dec open and put in a new monthly high, before breaking structure. I expect that high to hold and will be looking for short opportunities after a significant retracement of the leg down.

liftoff. stoploss to BE.
Note
snapshot

Moving 2nd tp down to more conservative level. pretty confident price will continue to FVG, but practicing separating my trading from my analysis, conservative approach guarantees profit.
Note
snapshot didnt get the expansion i was looking for here. Oh well. lets see if it survives at BE.
Note
snapshot

added another buy, demo so why not.
Note
snapshot

nice
Note
snapshot

moving SL to profit, if im right here we shouldnt trade below the daily open anymore.
Note
price wasn't moving in an encoraging way. closed for profit. we go again tomorrow. snapshot
Note
snapshot

Took a short for shxts and giggles. price hit 12hr FVG and may want to shoot sellside one more time, unwillingness to sustain trading above the daily open makes the low of the day susceptible.

Going BE, que sera sera

Note

doubling up
Note

SL BE on final position.
Note
snapshot

Closed out manually for profit, there was a new daily FVG that was filled today, I think we are unlikely to reach the higher one.
Note
was the right call. in a short on SPX. snapshot
Note
snapshot

buying if it moves like this
Note
snapshot
plotting on NAS, i see reasons to go up. Demo trade. end of year so wild swings are more likely than you'd think
Note
these are experimental trades, please do not take them as signals if you pay attention to my updates. its for data collection only.
Note
snapshot

tapped in and SL to BE on NAS. this is either it or its not it. not much room to mess around.
Note
snapshot

healthy.
Note
snapshot

because trades like this are possible sometimes im caught between taking such trades or just using them for analysis and exiting earlier. this is DEMO so will be letting the play with my original TPs, but had this been live I would collapse full position here.
Note
snapshot

Protecting profits with some management
Note
deleted that higher SL. im just going to let it play out.
Note
snapshot

closed out 30%, if this plays might be my trade of the year
Note
snapshot moved SL to BE and just let it play out. that was close, NAS is trading back above the daily open. if it can sustain, should be less troublesome from here.
Note
snapshot

looking for a search and destroy
Note
4PM, collapsing entire trade. about 1:8RR snapshot
Note
haven't done much trading this week, spending time w family. Demo short for asia high, i still believe last weeks outlook is valid and price wants sellside. snapshot
Note
snapshot

active and moving towards tp
Note
snapshot

deleted that SL in previous update back to BE, entered a second position and reduced risk.
Note
snapshot

BE on both
Note
had to give 2nd pos room.
Note
snapshot

back in business.
Note
snapshot

SL in profit for Pos 1, BE Pos 2.
Note
Updating TPs snapshot
Note
dont like how much im fiddling with this one. gave it enough room to tap 15min FVG snapshot
