LOL! 5 minute charts showing a chance of reversing and going up. The wicks on the candles make it hard to see what it wants to do. MA's showing chance of reversal but wicks showing getting slapped down every time it moves up. Going to ride it until the stop gets taken out or I just give up on it. Almost 80 ticks locked in right now so not really worried about it.

Maybe a good move after lunch like it does sometimes.

So here's an idea..... a gentleman's "handshake" between breakout and fade out styles.... whoever wins splits the profit equally so both bring the bread home at the end of the day.... lol

Any reason why Dow and Nas are "whippy" now ( between 15:10 and 16:10pm approx. - UK time ?)
Looked on Calendar above but nothing stood out ?

if all I know thus far about NQ is correct, at 9am pacific i.e. Noon ET, Algos will kick it and price will go upward to touch the tops... expecting a rapid short squeeze or a nice and easy upward move....

OCO-Long kicks in at 9am... lets see what happens

EDIT: It's happening

Doesn't seem to have any strength. Could just be some consolidation before continuing. 5 min candles still have long upper wicks.

yeah... got out at BE. sucks bro. This has been my concern during strategy development. We cannot assume her moves to be always wild and crazy. Small moves, small profits and leave more on the table or wait for large moves and go nowhere... lol

First sign of weakness in this downtrend and I will be out for the day. Stop tightened up. 220 ticks locked in. 5 hours into the trade. LOL! Now it's just fun time.

Edit: and there's your sign. Out on all.

NQ +362 ticks
YM + 275 ticks
ES + 123 ticks
CL + 102 ticks

Patience and leaving it alone after I moved stop to better than break even. Wait for it to move strong in the right direction, then trail the stop way back just to protect from spikes.

CME is heavily steeped in tradition. Could just be a leftover from when the majority of trades where done via the pits.
