I'm still looking to short g/j rallys due to higher volume on down bars and simple down channel on 15 min. So far has made me 90+ pips today. chosing entries wisely cause PA is a bit wild today.

I'm looking to see if we break up out of 130. If so, that's going to be a good few days ride I imagine. Price has bounced off so hard lately that I imagine that there's so much volume waiting to be tipped off above that level that it's gonna be a hard and fast one followed by the inevitable few days floating upwards. Well, that's what I'm hoping for for the sake of my account at any rate...

Also, been playing the bounces as you have. Only +48 for me tonight, but who cares? That's 48 pips bagged during the "slow" session. It's been easy pickings watching price drift about +20 above a significant figure, and then the inevitable creep back down for the collection of the pips.

hmm, could be but that H&S on 4hr I can't ignore. I simple test of the neck line is 300 pips down from here..and if it breaks..insane pips. We shall see. Your 48 pips is good for this session, I had a bit of luck on my side maybe.

Nicely done. I must admit, this post only illustrates the differences in trading styles as I decided to take my +48 and head to the bar instead. You obviously are going to do what it takes to succeed and I wish you nothing but the best. Please keep us all updated. I'm afraid I may be a bit too lax for your liking

Thanks for the kind post. I have this thread to journal myself and reasons for trades so I can look back and learn, but of course it's more fun with others too.
