Traded the first 20 minutes from the opening today...102 ticks for me, that's enough. No need to be greedy.

Many Happy Returns to daughter H.

I'm down about 10 points currently, got the wrong side of a couple early on and haven't since recovered.

Might come back later.

Really beginning to think this is going to become a much bigger correction.

CG, I believe Harold uses "number of Trades per bar" vs "Volume per bar". You can use either one obviously. They do print differently though. Volume per bar is much faster. I might be wrong however on which one he uses.

Rescued the day, with a +20.

I had a few BE trades earlier and the loser was a hook. Typical that on demo a couple of days ago, i took two of them in a row which were winners, but today, live, i take a loser...

I believe that is the law of the sod!)

Here was the 'bread & butter' winner for +20 to make roughly +10 on the day. Nothing to shout about, but in fact it is my daily target for SB... In fact i should have stayed sharp as it was followed by another... Hey ho;

Why would you have taken the second trade? There was no lower low and no demand taken out, so price easily could have gone up...

It's still mental out there, nice rejection of the LL and 400 ticks higher within minutes;

price formed a 123 and then took out low so the pullback gets you in downtrend

Having mentioned that I used to trade Euro futures (6E) a lot in the past, it occurs to me that perhaps with this wild volatility, with frequent 20 NQ tick mini-spikes up & down in less than a second, it would be more sensible to trade 6E or EU until things quieten down... don't need to make 100 ticks a day...
