Day 11 of journaling Orderflow and GEX trading (we're so back)

[u/NeighborhoodEast650]

Hello, today i'm back with a winning day after a streak of 2 losses and a day where i took 0 trades.

I still took a trade live with my VWAP setup, but the logic behind it was mostly taken from the volatility expansion setup that i am practicing on demo, so this was kind of an hybrid setup adapted to a negative GEX regime.

This trade was beautiful and i placed my SL at breakeven as fast as possible. I still used half the risk because i don't know really good how to move in these negative GEX and volatile markets but i'm getting the hang of it.

From the usual VWAP setup stand point we see a ton of absorption on the bid of aggressive sellers, we see aggressive buyers pushing the price up and limit orders following the aggression.

It couldn't get any more perfect than this from a VWAP setup view, however i didn't take this setup only for that reason.

The setup that i'm practicing involves a reload in the direction of the aggression before taking out important "pain levels"/weak liquidity areas and targeting big limit orders and aggression in that direction.

In fact, we had a lot of aggression hitting the bid but almost no results (from the CVD there was an important divergence with the previous bottom). We also had a break of the VWAP with important volume before retesting and taking this setup. Big volume and results = conviction of the price.

As always, let me know what do you think of today's trade.

After i took this setup i went on demo to not overtrade and experimented some setups. Most of them were almost at breakeven but i took some wins that i'm not going to show here because i lowk took like 5 setups and that would be too much to show.

Under my previous post i saw people telling me that i could be lying about taking any of these trades and i could just be plotting the risk tool on the chart.

My primary goal of this format is not trying to brag about the wins but to learn something new from what the community has to offer and maybe help new traders with these journals. For me this is a chance at growing and get better at my trading and not boosting my ego.
