Situation 4399 was a key combo area on es. The session opened at 4387 and made highs at 4416. I wanted to wait for a pullback to 4400 to bounce and get long. My first tp area was 4410/4413 this was 1R and 1R+. Once 4413 was claimed there was a clear runway to gamma 1 at 4440. I risked 8 points on this trade.
Self-Talk I got long 4400 I got the immediate pop to 4410 where I took off size. It pulled in and I was stopped for my first attempt. .5R trade. I wanted to let the price break set some lows in and get back long at the reclaim of 4400. Price put in lows at 4394 I got long 4400 again with 7 points worth of risk. Price hit the stop 4393 and put in lows at 4392.5. Pushed to 4414 pulled back to 4401 where I missed a fill. The pullback off the missed fill put in new highs at 4417 and any additional pullbacks to 4400 combos 2 I wanted to get long.
Vix was getting smacked all day and today was quad witching also.
I got up to eat a sandwich and forgot to set my alerts. Price touched 4400 again at 11:50 and I missed it. When I came back it was too late I had to let the trade go. Market closed at 4465 possible 10R trade.
Coach-Talk Missed a fill and missed a trade eating lunch no big deal. Confident that my analysis and thesis were in tune with the market. Solid execution in the trades I did take .25R loss today.
1. Size Size on both entries were proper.
2.Entry Entries on both trades at 4400 bounce spot in line with analysis. Missed a fill eating lunch, On normal days I have work and would have missed the 11:50 fill anyway.
3.Exit First exit TP at 1R and stopped b/e second entry stopped at lows.
