Feeling better today. No trading in the morning prior to FOMC. I waited all week for this setup so a couple more hours won't hurt, right?. The positions were both textbook Pump N' Dump scenarios where volume eventually ended up trapped up high. The sum of all these positions was enough to complete my TFT 200k Royal Phase 2 Evaluation from -2.5% to +5%. I only need to log trades 2 additional days to meet the 5 day minimum.
US30
This was surprisingly a bit cleaner setup today than expected.
3 Days of rise into a Peak Formation High.
Price pushed up during the FOMC Press Conference, hitting -27 on the fibs (Long Target).
Initial entry after price broke back down inside with a 50 pt SL above the HOD/HOW.
My expectation was that price would not revisit this area.
As price began to break levels on the way down I added positions during small retracements.
Each addition had it's own 50 pt SL risking only profits from the earlier positions.
When price reached LWH ( Last Weeks High), I scaled out expecting turbulence.
After price reacted and retraced I scaled in additional larger positions targeting YL (Yesterdays Low).
NAS100
So this setup has been building for over a week.
3 Levels of rise, peak formation high and reset.
Today price built up volume trapping Longs higher and higher.
Similar to US30, NAS100 hit -61 on the fibs (Long TP2), before exhausting and reversing back inside.
Initial entry was at this level with a 50 pt SL above the HOD/HOW.
As price broke down I trailed stops at 100pts, adding positions each with a 50 pt stop risking only running profits.
2 positions hit SL on a final retrace when price wicked the LOD.
I was confident the retrace was a stop hunt into lower level shorts, so I added back in targeting LWH (Last Weeks High/ Red Line).
