September 2018 trades
The charts below are my daily trades for the entire month.
The charts show 1) entry rationals, 2) results and often 3) what happened after the trade was closed.
Gain/Loss numbers and net dollar amounts are adjusted to show just 1 contract per trade.
Daily summaries (after commission) are posted below each Session Separator:

A small gain is better than getting stopped out
What happened next?
You can never tell what's gonna happen with price action...
except that it will fluctuate
and often it will fool you into closing the trade just before a nice run
09/19/2018 Wednesday...C DAY...1/1/0...+4...+$8
Few chances for reversals during the MMO were presented today...
Markets caught me napping - was thinking that volume was weak over the
past few days...it was...I forgot about symbol rollover
Stalking a couple of possibilities:
09/18/2018 Tuesday...C DAY...1/0/1...+6...+$24
09/17/2018 Monday...C DAY...1/1/0...+4..+$8
09/14/2018 Friday...A DAY...4/0/0...+34...+$169
Close but no cigar...
A WAG or "Feel"?...In anticipation of a pull-back (within 2 ticks)
...an attempt at "going for more"...

| STOP-SAVE ... just before a very fast market drop happened |
 |
| Don't know why exactly but gave my stop some extra room and raised my target... |
 |
| Anticipating continued Divergence expecting another Slingshot ... almost Stpped-out before working. |
09/11/2018 Tuesday...4/1/0...+39...+$165
 |
| Was actually expecting a 2B forming...almost got stopped but lucked out with a gain |
 |
| Not seeing good price action in the ES ... |
 |
| ...sometimes a lot gets left on the table |
 |
| A WAG on a reversal - not a perfect 2B but the Sling was there |
A coulda-shoulda-woulda...after the canceled order above
