I traded some yesterday, but only on 1 lot for a net 20 ticks. Today, back to plan size.

Managed to get in front of my computer for the last hour and did some quick scalping.

Trade 1 - rally seemed to be petering out, hit a resistance line (which I'd actually drawn in the day prior) which it had recently reacted off of and then what looked like a decent engulfing bar. Price never picked up any momentum though - and my preference is for the trades to be 'proved' right relatively quickly so I exited for 7 points profit.

Trade 2 - very similar to the first trade. Price stalled at the same resistance level and although the signal bar closed a little higher than I would have liked I took a short position. Once again, wasn't any real momentum to the downside so I exited for 5 points profit.

Trade 3 - by now I figured we weren't going to move much lower (at least in the short term) so I placed a buy stop just above the level that market was stalling at. I duly got filled and had a 20 point target which was met few bars later.

Trade 4 - large engulfing bar which engulfed the previous 4 bars so I went short. After another large engulfing bar the market stopped at just a few points above the earlier resistance level, so I closed out the position for 6 points, giving me a total of 38 points profit on the day.

Still in Sim (unfortunately), hoping to fund very shortly - been a long drawn out process...

US30 Cash/ US500 Cash has been quite/ consolidating for a while now. Daily chart shows weird ups and downs around SMA. Never seen this chart acting in a range for so long. Any thoughts about its future direction?

General direction will be down I think due to the interest rates and the tightening policies.
