A follow-on from another method I was running on Cable, so an example of in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time-itis...It bagged the +5 on the first entry and then the second topped that off nicely...

Missed a nice drop on the US30, though there's a possibility of getting in on a return move, later. The US500 was off and running way too early to catch.

I did manage to nab the 100 though...

Annoyingly (as I was over on the DAX elsewhere), I also missed a huge drop on the GER30 (and I've just noticed the same on the F40). Bummer...

Can't get 'em all.

A couple to add to the Watch-List. May have to wait till (or at least closer to) the US Open to get these middle-of-the-day moves...

You might want to brush up on your Ram Dass "Be here now."

I'm not trading in protest, took a -12 on the EU right out the box with my never fail second bar method. But I'll be back..... tomorrow

Well, it wasn't a banner day - but both did the job ok, especially as they were taken in the usually smaller-move section of the day.

The DAX needed a bit of rule-bending (and ended up being a HAL-Special entry) and I didn't hang around all day to eventually catch the bigger final moves around 15:00 uk for both of them.

Meanwhile, my main-squeeze on the day, The 100 made a much better fist of things, though again, the entry bar went on to make a higher high after I had entered the trade.

The UC was a slam-dunk (which I missed, needless to say) and was the ''top'' to the earlier ''tail'' which also would have made your day quite nicely.

Short CF +5 locked. Earlier had taken the same trade which stopped, but did a reverse on it and captured the loss. A risky strategy but often pans out.

I have tracked 13 trades this morning testing this strategy with a +5 target; cumulative +65. The losses however would be big and would be the caution.

Unless you do them as a counter-trade (mentioning-the-unmentionable here, lol).

Only thing you should not mention in this thread is EA.
