This is probably my last trade for the week. I don't know if my heart can stand Quadruple Witching Freaky Friday. Besides it's 5 oclock some where.

Do you trade from 8-4 est, Cisco?
It varies, but generally I do. Sometimes other obligations keep me from trading at all.

I'm no expert on patterns, I generally just eyeball the larger TF's for obvious situations. In this case though, when price spiked higher than 1.6468 then the pattern was no longer a true Gartley. There's other patterns that this one might fall under, like maybe a 'Bat Pattern.'

I need to brush up on this stuff, it can come in quite handy because certain price pattern play out over and over again.

This is a risky play, but...if this new M15 candle can't close above the M15 5 then I'll likely add to my short.

I lied about the last trade of the week. I had to take a 35/50 on the Mistress.

what will you be targeting?
I'll be taking some off at each M15 ma. No specific overall target.

The dollar is weaker today, so this could reverse at any time. Be careful!

Gotta run out for an hour or so,,,good luck!
