Type of Day: Expected a range day(so I shorted the top), then had it turn into a trend day (so I tried buying the dip), but ultimately by C period to turn back into a Range Day, with the top having been faded.
KEY LEVELS: ON HIGH(4265.50), 4266.50, 4270
Did I follow my stop loss/profit taking rules? I believe so. Every single trade was a loser meaning bad trade location, but at least the losses were contained. Trade small next time until my trade locations are better.
1st Trade: I would have called this to be a look above a fail trade. In the past I would have chased this breakout, but today I wanted to play something with better R:R, so took it short instead. 1st entry failed and I stopped out. The 2nd entry I didn't take profits as I wanted more, and had it going back up against me.
2nd Trade: Single prints trade, expected a OTFU Trend Up move after a slight dip. Ahh, these moves are so great if it's a trend day. Buy the pullback and have it rip back up higher. I even waited for C period to open, to have single prints as a reference area. Too bad they filled. Today wasn't a trend up day after all.
3rd Trade: Dip buy? Don't know what this is called, but my stop was at the ON high. Thought it would at least hold above, but it didn't. I should mention, at the time price really was holding above the level for a good few minutes on the 1 min chart, so I thought it was a nice support, prime for a reversal.
