I've just taken profit on my long that I took earlier and covered the rest at +3. I'm concerned that we're looking at a possiblity of going back down from here. The prior h4 closed inside the wick of the prior h4. If there was a time to short, I would say this would be it. I will evaluate that possibility once this next 15m candle closes closer.

my h4 didn't close within the wick, but I may be on a different close, especially with clocks changing last weekend and all

I don't know bro! I still see higher highs being made and we are comfortably above 8000 on the dow... Also, we did not see a selloff going into the close of the london session after making such a big move up... I prefer to buy the dips atm... I closed out my longs that I had in the low 470x and still have a good position at 468x..

I know bro! I'm not taking a short position just yet, but it is something to consider. My lonely long from 4332 is still marching as well, but I've moved him to +350 on coverage.

This is exactly what I am doing as well.

I think we are heading for a retest of 4986
