Daily Log – November 14, 2025
I started late today, and when I got to the chart, there was already a strong uptrend underway. There had been a great bull breakout from a small range earlier — and I think I would have taken that if I had been at the screen. The bull trend then started showing signs of weakness, almost like a final bull flag, so I was hesitant to buy. The bears eventually managed to push down below the sideways action.

After two bearish legs down, we got a double bottom and a nice bullish bar, so I entered long expecting a test of the highs. I was buying right into the EMA, so I was prepared to add more contracts lower if needed. After I entered, prices pulled back and I did have to add one more contract. Prices stalled again at the EMA, so I exited both contracts at my original entry price — first contract at breakeven and the second with a profit of 11.75 points.

After a small pullback, another good bullish signal bar formed. I was hesitant at first, but when we got a bullish doji as the follow-through bar, I entered long again. The doji wasn’t a great signal bar, but the context was still long, and since the bears couldn’t push prices lower, I took the chance. I took the trade for only 7.75 points because I was concerned about the previous high where price had stalled earlier. Prices did slowly move higher afterward, but the momentum was so weak that I didn’t feel comfortable swinging it for a bigger target.
