TGT
Target Corporation
stock NYSE

I finished today with **zero trades and 0R**.
The market had movement, but during my trading window I did not find a setup that fully met my rules: higher-timeframe structure, pullback confirmation, volume, risk/reward, and timing.
**TGT**
TGT pulled back into the 15-minute EMA20 and an ascending trendline. Several lower wicks showed support, High 1 formed, and High 2 closed above it with a decent body. The stop location and projected 1R were also acceptable.
The problem was volume.
High 2 volume was about 37.2K, while High 1 volume was about 80.78K. That was only around 46%, below my 70% requirement, so I passed.
Price later fell back below the EMA and would likely have stopped out based on my original plan. The important part is not that price eventually dropped. I rejected the trade before knowing the outcome because the trigger did not meet my rules.
**XOM**
XOM moved back above the 1-hour EMA20, but it had not completed a clear pullback. In my system, the first move above the EMA only gives permission to observe. It is not an entry signal.
The pullback eventually happened, and the 15-minute chart later printed a bullish engulfing candle with confirming volume. However, it occurred after my trading window had ended, so I passed. Price also did not travel very far afterward.
**PLTR**
PLTR was trading inside a roughly 129–135 range. The bounce from the lower boundary made sense, but by the time I evaluated it, price was already in the middle-to-upper part of the range.
My projected 1R would have required price to push into resistance, so the risk/reward was not good enough. Price later rallied and returned to the range.
**KO**
KO was still below the EMA20 on the daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour charts. It was a bounce from support, not a multi-timeframe EMA-supported trend setup.
I rejected it immediately without searching for a lower-timeframe trigger.
Today my system filtered four incomplete setups for four different reasons:
TGT: insufficient High 2 volume
XOM: no early 1-hour pullback; later signal came too late
PLTR: poor risk/reward near range resistance
KO: higher-timeframe structure did not qualify
No trade was the correct result.
**The market does not owe me a setup every day. When the conditions are incomplete, cash is a valid position.**

Arre, I am a teacher bhai. Basically a TGT in Kendriya Vidyalaya.
So, we are only dependent on salary, no other income.
