Hope everyone is knocking out pips.

I'm in demo mode short GU @ 5890, EU @ 3947 and EJ @ 131.24.

Looking to scalp 10+ pips.....take 2/3rd's off and cover.

Basing the trade on testing the high of the session.

Here's what I'm looking at on EJ today

The upper trendline seems to be holding, we were able to punch through it today, but were unable to close above it.

It's worth noting there is a trendline at the bottom that is forming a triangle, so if we get down that far today, that would be an obvious place to check for PA to look for an indication of reversal or continuation.
