Today I took no trades. I have to go out in a minute. But 10 minutes before the market open I saw a lovely set-up, but because it was so close to market open I did not take it. See chart below. At Point A we have a sign of weakness - possible supply coming in, seen by the higher volume (it appears low, but remember this is Globex trading - out of hours trading - so the volume will be low compared to trading hours) - but we still have a sign of weakness. At Point B we see that area tested, on low volume (volume less than the previous two bars). This is no demand. You can see the reaction to the no demand bar - a lovely down-bar. If I'd taken this trade I would have done very well.
Trading can be frustrating at time. We hesitate and miss trades. But it's important to stick to your trading plan, that you know is reliable.
If you took the trade at B you'd have to enter before the no demand is confirmed by the following down bar?
