went long off the retest of the 5,10,21 ma's they are all bunched together, closed with 14 pips. Now see if if I can do it again. Looking for a deeper retrace now since it failed to continue up. Maybe the 00
Well it didn't listen to me . Should have renetered on the same candle when t retested agian. Did that yesterday on the EJ got 15 pips twice off the same candle. But not sure it is good habbit to get into. But with the trend away from the Ma's.

Next seat please.

I tell you what bro! I just closed out fully at 35.. I have to go on the road now and the dow is looking weaker... It may go up but I will just take the money and run!
Excellent trading bro! I took more out at 6150, holding the rest at +50. No loss, no worries. Remaining position is small now.

OK, thanks.
Another question, do you enter for such trades manualy at all, or your decision - manualy/PO - based on other criterias?
I'll set the PO and let it pull me into the market if we've already had a test of the 35 like we did earlier. The 2nd cross will usually go deeper, so PO with tight SL and no worries. If it get's taken out, then it's usually a sign of the trend changing and I'll look for a short opportunity then.

Pretty damn good "scalp" to make almost 100 pips in less than 1hour with a small ass draw down. But, hey, we're just scalpers, what do we know.

h4 close around 6140 would make a pretty strong hanging man. I'm not willing to short the h4 close, I'll drop to 15m chart for my entry. We could still push north on the wick before selling would come in and the northbound push could override the hanging man.

Ive followed this thread for a while, I got a bit pissed off with myself at one point because I just didn't get it, and I didnt post for a while.

Today I'd like to say I'm getting (some of) it, i've traded 3 days this week, I have 32 consecutive wins totalling 210.1 pips.

Here's to the weekend
