Trust The Levels - Trade Options In ThinkOrSwim

I had a great day today and as a trader realized I need to be smacked in the head over and over for NOT following my rules. "But this time I know I'm right"
So my mistake today was really stupid however, after talking to others, a lot of traders tried similar due to the huge earnings pop on NVDA. I had a BIAS and was sure there would be a pullback (at least I wanted one) and if NVDA was moving up still so would the rest of the semi's. That is where I went wrong. I was determined to force AMD to comply with my BIAS and move up along with NVDA. So when AMD got over 172 and held, which was a Resistance Level I had marked on my chart, I was getting in longs and was going to sit back and count the money until it reached my target level. Here is the kicker. I was taking it even though the rest of the market was moving down and rejecting major levels. (That was my sign but I ignored it) 1 of my rules is to not trade against the NQ/ES and never trade when Nq/ES is approaching a major level.

I had a loss on this trade and I am kinda glad because it will help me to make a better decision the next time. I hope!:p

My 1st trade was Qcom-

@METAL
Thank you for the strategy, I have been watching this thread since almost the very start. Are you still following vincent desiano? I heard you mention him in one of your videos and wasn’t sure it you still incorporate some of his strategies with your LRC component.

What should I do? I used the exact link you provided.
If using the original LRC study, make sure your Time Interval is set to "Today". I believe on V2 you can have it set to the amount of days of your choice.
 
Hey all. Here is a link to a recap of yesterday. I will make one for today as well.

Todays Trades -
I want to stress the importance of support/resistance levels. They take precedence over the A-LRC in that if you have a perfect LRC setup but you will be trading directly into a S/R Level, Then I do not take the trade. I will wait until the s/r level has been broken and a confirmed continuation takes place before I enter a trade.

These are great tutorials, thanks Metal! I apologize if this was answered in a previous post or one of your videos, but I have scanned all and can't find the answer. What are you using for the manual S/R resistance lines? Previous days high/low or other? Thank you.
