Sounds as if it is trading opposite of your trend system -- hope it works!

{quote} Have my first target right there, since there's almost always a pause at that level...assuming it gets there in the first place of course. Regarding the lower closes: We may need another week for it all to play out, since time is getting pretty tight for all these swings to take place this week.
closing below 1423 today wouldn't be a good sign for bulls about 1382.8 tomorrow

PA certainly is not impressive to the upside............

There's the reaction at the 1403x norm and H1 oscillator divergence, but not much follow-thru yet...

Still have five locked, so it's not going to be a loser anyway....maybe just a time waster....lol

Maybe you should try trading the ES or CL futures. The day sessions start at 9:30 and 9:00 A.M. respectively, and you really don't want to trade those markets outside of the day session. Tick value is $12.50 for the ES and $10 for the CL, so you may not want to use large stops.

40 tick stops on any of these futures contracts(6E is also $12.50 per tick) would give me ulcers.......lol

40 pips is my max pain of loss... ea has its own ,, it will reverse the trade when trend changes,,,,so sometimes it will be much smaller...''
look like the long is on the right track +12 pips now...

Hope so....This is a precarious trade, so "don't let a winner turn into a loser" is always my guiding thought....

Still 16 locked....and about 20 away from my 1st target....

MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion) so far is 37....

The EA is designed according to your entry/exit rules or not ? ...

If you're still thinking long, 1.1418x may be the spot...and 1424x is halfback...not trading it myself though..............
