The PA before and immediately after the US open filled the gap (almost) which throws away my bias to short.
Shall trade the momentum and Pivot points

serious shorting only below last session close
it might be a range bound Friday
Great scalping opportunities, fast and furious, highly profitable, but demands focus on M1/M5

Market has decided to shake all types of biases, one needs to be ready for that

I have quickly changed my bias when I have seen the fast move down b4 US open and in the initial seconds of the US session
I takes discipline to drop my ideas as what the market should do!!! and follow the PA

Last session close proved to be an important zone, even if one has gone either way with enthusiasm, US last session close acts as a SL set in concrete
On M1 I was able to act to protect profits, had only one very small loss and one BE trade, all others were profitable.

Time for a and what is going on.
Scaling down trading for a while. Looks like a range bound day on DOW.
Good trades to all!

Important developments around the world, this weekend might be a pivotal one in an important region.
I am not going to have any trades left open just in case, would not like to risk profits for some moves when the markets are closed, though in my opinion there might be a great spike up if things are sorted out and some order is likely to follow. We shall see.
Wishing all a good weekend!!!

Well over my Daily minimum target achieved.

tempted to take a break, might return to the monitors later
The good side of gap insights and a short glance at the monitors, then just go..go...goo and grab the points

Trying to have adequate tools and disposition allowing for necessary focus
Nothing is perfect or guaranteed, so after grabbing the low hanging fruit I am happy for what the market provided.

all positions closed
Tomorrow as usual the PA before the US open shall be observed as well as any potential event which might happen
In any case being out of a position is also part of trading, getting ready to jump in when things align
It has been a good Monday,
Following reports of all sorts.
