I made two trades during unusually late hours because Mr. Market revealed his intention late. One loser and one winner. Managed to eke out some profit.

Although I was in front of my PC, I haven't found low risk opportunities today. Time is too late now and perhaps I won't have any trade today. In hindsight, there were two acceptable opportunities for me today. They are marked in the picture below.

When a system doesn't have edge........

Called it a day with just two BE trades. Moved SL to BE too early.... Trading result will be reflected to my Topstep dashboard later today.

Subscribed Topstep right before...... It'll gonna be fun.....

Your directional bias was pretty accurate as usual. Seems target was too ambitious..... Good trade anyway.

Your original target could be hit sooner or later. I also think you trading hours are often too late (near end of NY session). I know that's because you have a full time job now. When you find more time for trading next year as you said, you may ...

Hi, Steve Sorry for the hindsight commentary but it looks somewhat wired to me. The zone you marked above your entry (1.25400) contains some inefficient areas and engulfing candles. Can you tell me why you didn't take them seriously? Actually, I ...

Hi, Steve 50 and 200 EMA can help?

By the way, as today is U.S. holiday and the liquidity of futures market is very thin. No trade as a result.

Hi, Steve Are you talking about demand at 2.830? If so, as I mostly trade based on 1M chart, that 15M demand area is just too far away to me. To be honest, I don't care much about far away zones. If you are talking about the zone at 2.880, then yes ...

Hi, Steve Thank you for the information. I had a quick look at their website and it seems they support only Forex and CFD. As I trade natural gas futures, they may not be my best choice. Also, it seems they are also acting as a broker themselves. ...

Although I still think funded trading is close to SCAM, I may want to try Topstep for fun sooner or later. They have lowered the price quite a lot and it could be fun even if I lose that money....

It was a difficult day as market is already in holiday mood + contract rolling over. Anyway, managed to deliver some profit. 1 small loss, 2 BEs and 1 decent profit. Exausted and done for the day. Again, no brainers. All from ...

It's important to understand market's lanuage. Steve helped me to do that. 3 trades today. 1 BE, 1 small loss, and 1 decent profit. Totally small profitable day. Choppy day due to futures contract rolling over. For me, geen arrows in the picture ...

Hi, Steve Do you use money stop? Can swing low be a safer SL?

That's true!

Hi, Steve Thank you very much for your comment. Absolutly it makes sense to me and it matches my thought. It's very logical and intuitive art. Every new traders should learn it immediately after reading babypips.com. They will save a least 5 years! ...

By the way, I took the candle in yellow circle in the picture below as a higher high, although it looked like a pin bar at 5M chart. Of course, it would have been better if that candle closed at higher high....
