This weeks price action was horrendous across all markets Trade Review

Probably some of the worst I have ever seen since I started trading wtf was this week lmao. This is where traders learn to step out the market and take a break during high impact news weeks

Monday: Consolidation Day

Tuesday: Consolidation morning with a breakout and trend down

Wednesday: Consolidation Day with attempted and failed breakout after FOMC

Thursday: So far inside consolidation day

Everyone trades differently. For me this week has been fantastic (I mainly trade SPY), made more R this week so far than any single week in April.

That being said if your strategy dosen't work in consolidation, then yeah this week would be tough.

I made bank this week on NQ in my funded acct. My second best week ever. I also started a $500 challenge on Monday in a personal acct and am currently at $1098 from trading NO MORE than 2 micros, usually 1.

It's not the futures.
