MSFT not a perfect trade (sloppy entry), but damn near perfect. Entra
Level at historic PME (PMH).
Market is dominated by algos, and they tend to reveal their limits at Pre Market because volumes are much lower.
What could have been done better?
I could have been in the chart earlier, I kind of noticed it too late. So a sloppy late entry... entry should have been immediately on reverse on first green candle. Stop just below the tail (it was). Would have given maybe 6x instead of 3x.
By the way
A lot of instruments made that move and had similar levels.
You have to wait there like a snake... for your perfect strike. I've switched my TC2000 watch board to 5m timeframe, its much easier to see accelerating moves this way (and levels too). But all orders are still on 1m chart (on TradingView).
Trading view sucks horribly, but its the best UI out of what I've tried. You can trade from Risk (i.e. USD amount of risk for a position, your stop or R-unit essentially). Which frees up a lot of time.
In the background I am developing my own UI that will work with IB. Its all dogshit out there... TC2000 is amazing, but old. TradingView is a not designed by traders, IB TWS is a fuck you with a
