Got time to post quickly before i head out..nasdaq waited till news came out and then looked for some selling as yesterday it dropped off hard..got the push then the pullback for the short and it took off quickly giving me my first target out at 20 ticks and the second trailed getting stopped out at 21..nice trade, then it was oil inventories a bit later so waited and saw we were dropping after inventories so grabbed the first short entry i saw...quickly went to my 20 tick target has dropped even more since..nice day anyway about to head to the marina

Tuesday's trades...

Here are my trades for Tuesday on oil and the nasdaq..have some time today as we are having thunderstorms so the boat rental business is quiet today (only sent out a few jet ski tours)..all in all 3 trades on oil (1 loss and 2 wins) and a winner on the nq.. First post is a screen capture during the trades the others are entries and final exits..

Some trades from last week..

Here's some screenshots of trades from last week that I saved on my computer but never got time to post..back in action this week seem to be getting some better setups which is great!

Summer trading..

Still here taking my trades and setups..have noticed a drop-off in the momentum and volatility, usually happens during the summer months..I am still quite busy in the days as I normally trade from 9.30am-12pm and then manage the marina from 1pm-7.30pm..here's a couple trades from yesterday on the nasdaq futures (still watching oil and the nq)..

monday

spent the weekend working at the marina and studying a bit of volume spread analysis..vsa combined with the renko market structure trading seems like it can work well..volume spread analysis looks at the volume on each bar as well as the spread and close of the bar to gauge where the buyers and sellers are..I used to use vsa on spot forex a bit, will see if I can use it successfully in the futures market alongside my trading method..time will tell
