The idea behind this bunch of trades was following:
weekly still feel rotational
The market seems too overstretched (price came too fast too high) in face of weekly 2 SD +heavily positioned for Friday.
Price and OF seem to roll over.
first short in a sign of weakness, below the recent low. Stops above 2 SD. Target VWAP
Failed to get one more short at 2 SD lvl here
Added shorts in line with taking down recent lows (hope that some bulls hid stops there)
In addition, we had a space between intraday volumes - price should move down quickly.
Took quick profit for 1 contract. Then price just crushed lower, trapped bulls who suffered pain during first leg down, capitulated. Closed 2 contracts at VWAP.
Reloaded short on a small upside pullback anticipating one more leg down (should not do this) - more like a greed FOMO trade.
Poor entry and exit (forgot to place target) - missed a move - closed almost at BE
LESSONS LEARNED:
1. BIG LEVELS BETTER PLACE A TICK LOWER TO GET FILLED
2. INSTANTLY PLACE sL AND TARGETS.
3. NO FOMO. LESS EMOTIONS
4. LAST TRADE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AT ALL.

ES HYPO
• Monthly VWAP – Fading bullish momentum, more rotational recently. Making lower highs. May be considered as a pullback towards 0,5 rhythm which were respected 4 times but if ~3880 is broken can go lower 3852 (VWAP 1st target)
• Weekly VWAP – Rotational, fading swings to the both sides, may be consolidation before spike any direction.
• MP – General migration flat for recent days. Last 4 days seems to have balanced out. Have merged these days.
• O/N – Currently 4hr before open – Imbalanced down. Slow trend so far
• Rhythm Daily/DVA – TBC
• OF – Slightly negative
• Price is inside CVA
Plan
• PVAH 3910 – See how price interacts with this region. Could act as resistance. Go short target PVAL 2sd – stop just above 2SD weekly VWAP?
• PVAL 3895 Support to buy?
• Keep an eye on monthly support levels around 3882 if break-short?
